Cedar Plank Grilled Mustard Salmon

Ingredients

 

Serves 6-8

  • One 2lbs half of a salmon side, skin off
  • 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha hot sauce
  • 2 Tbsp kewpie mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • Garnish with chives
  • 3 red onions, peeled, cut into quarters, keeping root intact
  • 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt

Method

  1. Heat up the grill on high for direct heat.
  2. Soak your plank for at least 1 hour (or longer, you cannot oversoak it) to avoid it from catching fire. Make sure it is weighed down with a plate and fully submerged and flip it half way. Tip, You can also soak your plank in apple juice, beer, or wine to add more flavor to the fish. The darker the color of the cedar the better the flavor.
  3. Place the salmon on the soaked plank and season with kosher salt liberally.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, sriracha, mayonnaise, and brown sugar. Spread evenly over the salmon.
  5. In a large deep dish, toss the asparagus and onions in the olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  6. Brush an area on the grill lightly with oil. Place the onions and asparagus on the oiled grates. Cook for about 3-4 minutes turning halfway until lightly charred and just tender. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  7. Place the salmon plank on the grill and cover with lid. Cook the salmon for 10-15 mins, or until 130-135 F degrees on a thermometer.
  8. Let rest for about 3-4 minutes. Place the plank on a large tray and serve alongside with the grilled vegetables.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageImpala, Soho. From @super8restaurants , the team behind Kiln and Brat — you already know the pedigree. What you don’t expect is just how far the menu travels: North African, Mediterranean, shiso, wood fire, oxtail. Chef @meedu_saad is doing something genuinely singular here, and the room feels like it knows it. Go hungry, ask your server what to order, and surrender to it.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageEvery summer, Chesterton Polo at Hurlingham Park is one of those dates I simply refuse to miss. Quintessentially British, utterly glamorous, and honestly — I haven’t the faintest idea about the rules, but who cares? The thundering hooves, the mallet swings, the collective gasp of the crowd… it’s pure electricity, even to a complete polo novice like me.

And the food? Chef’s kiss. The afternoon tea and scones alone are worth the ticket.

Did you know that polo is one of the oldest team sports in the world — first played in Persia over 2,500 years ago as military training for the king’s elite cavalry? Thousands of warriors, one ball. Somehow it evolved into this gorgeous, sun-drenched afternoon with scones. I’d say that’s progress. 🐴

Thank you to the wonderful @polointhepark team for having me — see you on the lawn again next year!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageToday we’re making bulgogi, the K-BBQ dish that started so many people’s love affair with Korean food. And honestly? Once you make it at home, you’ll never look back. 
Quick fun fact: bulgogi literally translates to “fire meat” — bul (fire) + gogi (meat). Its roots trace all the way back to dish called “maekjeok”, seasoned beef skewers grilled over open flames during the Goguryeo era, more than 2,000 years ago. So when you’re cooking this, you’re cooking history. No wonder it’s such a beloved gateway into Korean cuisine.
Here’s how to make it:
Start with thinly sliced Korean-style bulgogi beef — you can grab it pre-sliced at any Korean grocery store (this is the move, trust me).
For the marinade, throw garlic, ginger, Asian pear, soy sauce, anchovy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, soju, sugar, and a crack of black pepper into a food processor and blitz until silky smooth. The pear is the secret weapon — it tenderizes the meat AND adds a gorgeous natural sweetness. ✨
Pour the marinade into a zip-top bag with the beef, give it a good massage, and let those flavors really sink in.
Heat your griddle or pan until SCREAMING hot, then sear the bulgogi until edges are charred. That caramelization = flavor.
I love serving this the proper, authentic way — with ssam (lettuce wraps), a scoop of warm rice, a smear of ssamjang, loaded with bulgogi, and then topped with pickled radish. Wrap it all up, pop the whole thing in your mouth in one bite (yes, the whole thing!), and thank me later.
