Monthly Recipe

Smoke Roasted Salmon with Mustard Dill Sauce Salmon can be cooked as one large piece or cut into pieces ahead of time. I used 6oz portions.

Set up charcoal grill for indirect cooking. Use a chimney starter to get charcoal going and then add to grill. Cook at medium to high heat. While charcoal and grill are heating up, prep the salmon. Check for any stray bones. I add olive oil and coarse salt and pepper the skin side of the salmon. Adds flavor and keeps salmon from sticking to grill. The mustard sauce: Dijon mustard, mayo, coarse salt and pepper, lemon zest, and dill. Mix in a bowl and spread over the salmon. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Put the salmon skin side down. Add soaked wood chips if you are looking for a more smoke flavor. Salmon can also be cooked over a cedar plank.

Cover the grill with vents open. Cook for 25-30 mins and salmon is ready to eat. Cut a lemon in half and grill cut side down. Squeeze the grilled lemons (juice) over the salmon when serving. I served the salmon with risotto and green beans.
