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.

A little tour of my galaxy: 
a Stan Lee–signed Star Wars print (because the greatest crossovers in history involve either legends or layers of flavor), my Grogu fan club, the Millennium Falcon on permanent standby, an R2-D2 pepper grinder making sure all my food has “the force,” and Darth Maul lightsaber chopsticks for dark side precision plating.

And my fave quote—
“Do. Or do not. There is no try.” — Yoda (who clearly never attempted a soufflé.)

The best dishes demand Jedi discipline and Sith indulgence—in equal, unapologetic measure.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageGrowing up, cooking in my house was gloriously chaotic– and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I sat down with @sunday.post to talk about those memories, my unexpected path from Columbia Engineering to the kitchen, and why Korean food is finally having its moment.  Now that Korean flavors are more accessible than ever, I’m excited to show how simple and imaginative they can be. Check out the Sunday Post to read the full story.
