In this video, he nails the perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and spicy with his mouthwatering mango jalapeño glazed salmon on cedar planks. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!
What’s on the Grill?
Tom fires up the Yoder Smokers YS640s to create a glaze that’s bursting with flavor. He starts by sautéing onion, jalapeño, and garlic in a trusty Lodge Skillet over direct heat, deglazing it with white wine, then adding Dijon mustard and mango jam to create that thick, glossy glaze. Seriously, the aroma alone will have your mouth watering!
Perfect Salmon Prep
The salmon fillets get the royal treatment, trimmed and halved before being coated in grapeseed oil and seasoned with Plowboys BBQ Fin & Feather Rub. Tom explains how layering the rub under the glaze helps in amp ing up the flavor profile of this dish. Little tips like these are gold, and it’s clear that he knows his stuff!
Grilling Method Magic
Now, let’s talk cedar planks! Tom shows why charring on the edges is a good thing by placing the planks directly over the flame. This technique infuses the salmon with delicious cedar flavor and ensures that glaze sets just right. And yes, you’ll want to keep an eye on the clock—this beauty can be done in under an hour!
Flavor Explosion at Every Bite
As Tom wraps up the cook, he emphasizes the importance of visual cues for doneness. You’ll get that full sweet-spicy-smoky flavor payoff with each bite. It’s the kind of dish that leaves everyone coming back for seconds!
