Ingredients
  

  • 1 King Salmon Filet
  • Favorite seafood rub
  • 2 cedar planks
  • Brown Sugar Rum Glaze
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons rum
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce

Method
 

  1. Start off by soaking the cedar planks in water for 25-30 minutes.
  2. Slice the salmon in half (2 smaller filets) and season them with your favorite rub. Place them on the cedar planks.
  3. Fire up the smoker to 250 degrees F with bourbon chunks for a nice enhanced smokey flavor. Add the planked salmon.
  4. When it's 20 minutes in, begin to make the brown sugar rum glaze. Place a saucepan over medium heat and add the soy, brown sugar, rum, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha and honey. Whisk it together and let simmer for 6-8 minutes.
  5. Apply the first set of glaze on the salmon filets and let it smoke for an additional 30 minutes or so, the internal temp needs to be 145 degrees F. When it has about 15 minutes left, apply another set of glaze.
  6. Remove when the Salmon is done and garnish with chopped parsley.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
