Ingredients

3-4 Salmon filets

¼ teaspoon Salt

½ teaspoon Black pepper

1 teaspoon ground allspice

2 tablespoon Honey

Instructions

For the salmon

• Pre-soak the wood planks in water or white wine for at least two hours
• Season the salmon with salt and black pepper.
• Coat the salmon on all sides with the honey and sprinkle the top (flesh side) with allspice
• Place the soaked wood plank on a hot grill and toast for a minute on each side
• Place the salmon skin side down on the charred wood and cover. Allow the salmon to smoke and cook for 8-10 minutes vent holes open
• Serve with bacon onion jam on top.

Greedy Tips:

• The wood planks create a whole lot of smoke, I left the vent on my grill open just so I didn’t over smoke the salmon
• For the first char you should place the wood directly over the flames to toast. But once the salmon is added, try not to put the wood plank directly over the hot flames, if you intend to reuse the wood planks. You don’t want them to burn and the direct scorching heat will burn it too much that it can’t be reused. So place the hot coals to one side and the plans to the other as best you can.
