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 imageHAPPY FATHER’S DAY!! 
My father was born in 1939 in Chongju, a small coastal village between Sinuiju and Pyongyang, in what is now North Korea. 

In 1945, the communists invaded, and seized his father’s land, forcing them to pack up what they could carry, and flee south with his eight siblings. Even at just six years old, my dad had to haul his share - a small backpack full of fine silk to be used to barter their way onto trains heading south and to buy safe passage through Russian-occupied territory. 

They took a train to Haeju, then crossed the southern border. They escaped under the cover of darkness, wading through the sea’s low tide to Kaesong, which was then part of South Korea. In 1950, the Korean War broke out and my dad’s family fled further and sought refuge on Jeju island. My father was too young to be drafted, but four of his older brothers were enlisted. My dad grew up in a refugee camp on this small volcanic island, which is now ironically a popular holiday destination. He remembers looking up at tall, smartly-clad US soldiers and begging them for ‘bon bons’.

From this challenging situation, he somehow managed through hard work to make it to the ‘Harvard’ of Korea and attended Seoul National University Medical School.
From there he immigrated to the USA in 1967 for his internship and residency in Psychiatry in New York City.

He was introduced to my mom, whose older brother was my dad’s classmate. She had travelled to the US alone (unheard of in those days) to get her master’s degree in Chemistry at Ohio University. They got married in 1970, and are still together to this day.

Happy Father’s Day to my brilliant daddy and all fathers around the world!  My dad continues to inspire me every day.  His formidable spirit, wise advice, and undying love guides me through life…. I hope to be completely healthy too like him at 86 years young! 

I love you daddy! ❤️❤️🙏🙏
