Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 lbs (or approximately 6 oz per person) Fresh King Salmon, skin and bones removed

2 TB Dijon Mustard

1 TB Orange Blossom Honey

1 tsp Smoked Paprika

1 Lemon, thinly sliced

Salt and Pepper

Olive Oil

(4) Fresh Corn Cobbs

(1) Large Fresh Peach, Skin Removed

(4) Slices Potato Bread

Butter

1 Cup Baby Arugula + Spinach Mix

Instructions

Prep your board!  On a sheet pan with edges, fill with water and add a tablespoon of kosher salt (or so) and put your plank in the water, weighed down with an object (such as a can of tomatoes or a drinking glass). If there is room, add your corn to the water too (or alternatively, put corn in a separate bowl of water).

Once you have prepared your fillet by removing the skin, and tweazering (yes, that is a word) out the bones, rinsed and patted dry: using your fingers, sprinkle with a dusting of sea salt and freshly grind over some pepper.  Slather each fillet with the mustard, drizzle with honey, then sprinkle with the smoked paprika.

Heat the grill until 400 or more degrees.

Empty the water from the sheet pan and put the plank on the grill, lid closed, for 5 minutes or until you smell the scent of cedar.

Remove the plank, drizzle the burnt side with olive oil and add the salmon.

Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and top with the lemon slices.

Turn the middle two burners off (for indirect heat) and place the plank on the grill over the indirect heat.  Put the Corn on the rack above and close the lid.

Cook for 15 minutes before checking in on the salmon. I like mine medium rare but cook to your liking and remove the plank from the heat along with the corn.

Remove the husks and silks from the corn.

Slather four bread slices with room temperature butter (whipped if you like).

TO PLATE

Put three to four lemon slices down on each plate and top with a salmon fillet

scatter some peach slices over (scantily on top or to the side)

Tuck a handful of greens under each fillet

Add a slice of buttered bread and a corn cobb to each plate

Enjoy + Cheers!

Notes

If you don’t have Orange Blossom honey, you can use whatever you have; I just happen to love the subtle nuance that the orange blossom honey provides.

King Salmon if preferred and from the middle is most desired.  You can keep it in one piece or, to make it easier to plate, cut into (4) equal size fillets.  Your seafood monger might be willing to do this for you.

I don’t always soak my corn before grilling, often times I just rinse well under water before adding to the heat. Use your judgement and discretion.  The corn is sweet and perfect without the addition of salt or butter.  The corn and silks slide easily away so no need to do much else other than let them steam within their natural packet.
