Happy Mothers Day to you and yours! 

We treated our mommas right today with some Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey Glazed Salmon for lunch today. All of the moms were very happy.  

I wrote this recipe for the Wassi's 2015 Sunshine State Eggfest. Full recipe below. Hope you enjoy!

1C              Water

6 Tbsp       Jack Daniels Honey Whiskey

6 Tbsp       Brown Sugar

COOK TIME:

Approx. 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness.

The salmon should flake away easily with a fork. 

BIG GREEN EGG SETUP:

Set up the Big Green Egg for direct grilling. 

Target temp is 400-425F Dome Temp.Let the fire burn long enough so that there is no flame. The coals should be smoldering and grayed over. 

DIRECTIONS:

Combine the 1C Whiskey & 1C water in a Ziploc bag and soak the cedar plank overnight.  Starting with a hot skillet, sauté the garlic. Pour in the remainder of ingredients and whisk together. Allow the glaze to simmer and to reduce by half. Remove from heat. Remove the plank from the bag. Apply some EVOO to the skin of the fish and place on plank. Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste. Brush the fish with the glaze and place the plank directly on the grill grate. Apply the glaze every 5 minutes while cooking. Cook for approx. 15-20 minutes. The salmon should flake easily with a fork.
