Instructions
Soak the cedar plank for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) in salted water. Keep a bowl filled with water on top of it to keep it submerged.Finely mince the jalapeno and grate the garlic.
Heat 2 tbsp oil and cook the jalapeno for a minute or two.
Add the garlic and before it starts to turn brown you pour in the wine.
Add the apricot preserves, mustard, soy sauce, lime juice and a good pinch of thyme or rosemary.
Let the sauce cook for 20 minutes until it has been reduced to a thick glaze.
Let the glaze cool off.Set your BBQ up for direct cooking and keep it stable at 375F (190C).Dry the cedar plank and lightly rub it with oil.
Place the salmon on the oiled side of the cedar plank, skin side down. Season it with salt and pepper and apply a generous amount of glaze.
Place the cedar plank on the grill and cook the salmon until it has a core temperature of 135/137F (57/58C). This will take 15 to 20 minutes with a big piece of salmon.
Let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay
Nozzole Le Bruniche is an elegant and distinctive expression of the Chardonnay variety, with a clean, fragrant bouquet of white and tropical fruits offset by slight nuances of toast. On the palate, it shows a superb balance of fruit ripeness underscored by a fresh acidity and structure of medium body, with an overall impression of delicate complexity. These are repeated in the clean, persistent finish, which ends on a subtle toasty note.
