i have a 2.5# hunk of skinless salmon. Guests are coming for dinner in 3.5 hours. Any suggestions on how to wow them? I'm obviously looking for simple. Smoke or no smoke?

I go no smoke. Just make a salmon glaze with honey. That's my go to

Cedar planked salmon has visual appeal and tastes great.

Our go to glaze is honey and reduced balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.Michael

This is what I do. Cedar plank salmon seasoned with DP Raging River. I cover it with thin lemon slices as well. Glaze or not, your choice. Instant winner.Dinah_Moe_Humm said:.... don't forget the Dizzy Pig "Ragging River". -
No smoke I like lemon pepper on my salmon simple and delicious“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

Salmon screams for maple syrup rubbed on it somewhere in the cook/glaze!

I have done a few on cedar planks soaked in white wine with maple syrup and (kahlua or gran marnier) mixed, little sweet but great in my opinion

I use that same recipe every time I make salmon, and my guests always rave it's the best salmon they have ever eaten in their life. I don't get a whole lot of cooks right, but that one is a home run every time. I've even had people say I should open a restaurant after eating it!

Thanks for all the tips. I ended up whipping up my own concoction: juice of 1 orange, 1/2 lime, soy sauce, honey, salt and pepper. Marinate for 20-30 minutes. Cooked, indirect at ~350 on a double layer of HDAF fashioned into a shallow pan. Sliced Texas 1015 onions on the bottom, then the salmon drizzled with more marinade, then thinly sliced lemons on top of the salmon. Sadly, no pictures...I was too busy entertaining. The dinner turned out great: salmon, rice, fresh from the garden peas, and freshly baked sourdough dinner rolls.Large (sometimes wish it were an XL) in KS

Chris Lilly does has a bacon crusted salmon recipe. Do a quick google search.

I cook my salmon on cedar planks. I make a maple syrup/brown sugar/bourbon glaze and apply during the cook. Turns out pretty good.
