Howdy fellas and non fellas. Wife's birthday was today. She's been asking for salmon for months so today was the day. Most of the kids are either working or out with friends today so just 3 of us. Picked up 3 nice filets. Marinated in this Korean BBQ sauce meat down for about an hour

Then onto a soaked cedar plank. Added a hefty dose of red pepper flake

Kettle fire up and salmon on. Didn't measure temps

Rotated the lid every few minutes so everything got adequate heat. Smelled absolutely wonderful. After about 20min brushed some more sauce on then let it go for 10 more minutes

The sugars in the sauce caramelized perfectly. Didn't temp the fish. Just went by feel. Perfect flakiness.

Had a nice salad and some rice. Emily loved it which was most important. Thanks for looking. Got some bacon smoking I need to go tend to
 
Haven't done the cedar plank in a long time. Looks excellent Jake, and Happy Birthday to the Mrs. 🍻
 
That looks really good! And I'm not even a fan of salmon. And a happy birthday from us to your wife as well!

We've been eating a lot of salmon lately. This looks amazing. What is the brand of that Korean sauce? Hard to tell from the pic.

And tell the missus happy May birthday from another May birthday.

Wow, I'm salivating! I've used that Korean sauce before to make beef bulgogi, but it never occurred to me to try it on salmon. Another SMF recipe I'm going to have to try! Thanks
