Hot Honey Lemon Plank Salmon
Hot Honey Lemon Plank Salmon
Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 1 1/2 pounds large salmon fillet, cut into 4 individual portions, skin on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 teaspoons Watkins 1868 Organic Grilling Hot Honey Seasoning, divided
- 1 fresh lemon, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 cedar grilling plank, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
For the Hot Honey Glaze
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Ensure your cedar grilling plank has been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking. This prevents it from burning too quickly and infuses moisture into the salmon.
- 2
Prepare your grill for medium-high heat (around 400°F). While the grill preheats, use a blowtorch to char one side of the soaked cedar plank until lightly blackened. This adds a smoky depth to the salmon.

Pat the salmon portions dry with paper towels. Drizzle generously with olive oil and rub it evenly over the fish. Season liberally with 2 teaspoons of the Watkins 1868 Organic Grilling Hot Honey Seasoning. Place the seasoned salmon, skin-side down, on the charred side of the cedar plank. Arrange thin lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.

In a small saucepan, combine the butter, apple cider vinegar, hot honey, minced garlic, brown sugar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of Watkins 1868 Organic Grilling Hot Honey Seasoning.
