DIJON MUSTARD: Cedar Plank Salmon Marinade

FEATURED ITEM:
DIJON MUSTARD


WHY STORE THIS ITEM:
  • Store for 1 year opened in the refrigerator according to Stilltasty.com
  • Dijon is a heart healthy addition to your food storage because it is low in calories and fat free, but still full of flavor.
  • I can’t remember the last time I used Dijon mustard for sandwiches; it is so great as a marinade or a tasty addition to a sauce or soup.
DINNER RECIPE:
Cedar Plank Salmon Marinade


This recipe is adapted from Weber’s Real Grilling cook book and it is absolutely delicious. In this book,
 it tells you to grill the salmon on a soaked plank of cedar wood. The first time my husband and I made 
this recipe it was mind blowing, but the second time we almost burned our house down because we 
didn’t soak the plank long enough. We were too scared to try the cedar plank again so we had to adapt 
the recipe to be a safer version.

Makes: Enough marinade for 2 Salmon fillets
Cook Time: 10 minutes to mix up

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dried or fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper; you can make our own here
1/4 cup olive oil

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients together in a plastic gallon bag. Pat the salmon fillets dry and then place them in the bag with the marinade. 

Marinate the salmon fillets in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 

Cook the salmon using your favorite method. I really like to BBQ mine.
