Ingredients

3 lbs arctic salmon
3 tbsp Your favorite jerk seasoning

Bourbon Honey Glaze

¼ cup Bourbon
¼ cup Brown sugar
¼ cup Honey
2 tbsp Soy sauce
1 tbsp Rice wine vinegar
2 tsp Ginger paste
2 tsp Garlic powder
1 tbsp Honey ginger soy sauce (bought online)
2 tbsp Jerk seasoning you used on the salmon
Water (only if it gets to thick for your liking)

Instructions

Check the salmon for pin bones and remove any with tweezers.
Trim away the thin belly portion of the salmon so the pieces cook evenly.
Cut the salmon into portions approximately three fingers wide.
Season the salmon with jerk seasoning.
Preheat a flat-top cast-iron griddle over charcoal until it reaches about 500°F. Add the duck fat.
Add the bourbon, honey, soy sauce, ginger paste, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, honey ginger soy sauce, and jerk seasoning to a saucepan.
Whisk together and simmer over medium heat for 4–6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add a little water if the glaze becomes too thick.
Place the salmon skin-side down on the hot griddle and cook for 3–4 minutes.
Flip the salmon and cook for 2 minutes to blacken the top.
Sear each side of the salmon for about 2 minutes.
Turn the salmon back onto the skin side and brush generously with the bourbon honey glaze.
Remove from the heat and serve with asparagus or rice.

Prep Instructions:

Start off by making sure all of the small bones are out of your salmon by using tweezers to pull them out. Now season with your favorite Jerk seasoning.
I like to use the three-finger thick method, place three fingers (width) on the filet and that is how thick you want to cut your filets. Be sure to make sure you trim the belly, you do not want to keep that attached because while you are cooking that thinner section will overcook before the thicker section is done.
Fire up your grill, I like using charcoal and place a flat top cast iron griddle on top. Add 2 tablespoons of duck fat and let it heat up to 500 degrees.
While the griddle is coming up to temp, make the bourbon honey glaze. On a medium heat, surface add a saucepan and then add all these ingredients, bourbon, honey, soy, ginger paste, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, and jerk seasoning. Whisk together and simmer for 4-6 minutes. Set the temp on the lowest setting and let cool. Add water if it thickens too much.

Cooking Instructions:

Now the cast iron is hot, place the salmon filets skin side down for 3-4 mins. Flip and blacken the top of the filets for 2 mins. Now sear the sides for 2 minutes each and place back on the skin. While on the skin, glaze with the honey bourbon glaze.
Remove and serve on a bed of Asparagus or rice.
Enjoy with family and friends!
