Planked salmon with mango cucumber salsa

[rg02]

Been cooking this for the wifey and I once a week for about 2 months. Got the recipe from better homes and gardens BBQ cookbook for the cucumber,mango, jalapeņo salsa. A very tasty salsa and colorful one at that.

As for the salmon--- I rubbed it with a lot of white sugar(carmelization), salt, pepper, lime zest, cayenne, paprika, and a dash of chile powder and let it set overnight. I Cook the salmon indirect on my kettle on a cedar plank with kingsford blue and applewood chips. Cook time was about 35 minutes around 325ish. This is a very tasty way to eat salmon!

Stealing this idea! I have done salmon many ways being from Oregon, but that salsa is the kicker for me! That all looks really good!

Looks great!
Have recently forced myself to begin enjoying fish (used to despise anything seafood) but I know I'm supposed to like it so now I can actually look at this and it gets the drool juices flowing

I've been promising I'd smoke some salmon for my Health Conscious Athlete Daughter and I think you just closed that deal for her. That looks delicious. Salsa and all....
