I think I have adequately expressed my love of seafood. It truly is so hard to get awesome seafood, fresh seafood living in KY. But that does not deter me. I love, love, love Salmon. It probably is my favorite fish to eat. I will admit that I have cheated on Salmon from time to time, with others, but believe me when I say I always come back to Salmon.
I recently had the opportunity to try some King Salmon from Pure Food Fish Market out in Seattle. Let me tell you a little about this awesome seafood market. They are located in the seafood capital of the west coast in Seattle. You can order whatever fish they have available, and this is all fresh by the way, and they will overnight it to you on dry ice. You will have in the span of 24hrs some of the freshest seafood you have ever had in your life! I knew when we had tried the crab that it was amazing, so being given the opportunity to cook and eat fresh King Salmon, this salmon lover was over the moon!
The day the salmon arrived I was like a kid at Christmas. I could not wait until it was time to cook the Salmon for dinner. But truly, all the ideas swirling around in my head, were making me dizzy, how could allow this beautiful pink Salmon shine through? I decided that I would do a soy, mustard, brown sugar marinade. I really wanted the flavor of the fresh fish to shine through, and didn’t want added flavors to over power this beautiful bright pink piece of fish.
So, I decided that after I took the beautiful pieces of fish out of the marinade that I would grill them on cedar planks on the grill. I soaked the cedar planks in water for about an hour, because hey wood and fire tend to burn! I allowed the fish to stay in the marinade for 2-4 hours and fully absorb all the flavors. I put my gas grill on low and placed the planks on the grill and then the fish on top of the planks. I closed the lid and allow the fish to cook until slightly firm to the touch.
Simply amazing! This Salmon was the best tasting salmon I have ever had. We literally could not stop eating it!! I promise you will not be disappointed ordering fresh seafood from Pure Food Fish Market! Just take the plunge and enjoy some of the best fish that the west coast has to offer!
- 2-3lbs of Fresh Salmon Fillets
- ½ cup of soy sauce
- 2 tsp of red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp of wholegrain mustard
- 1 tbs of garlic powder
- ⅓ cup of canola oil
- ⅓ cup of brown sugar
- 2 soaked cedar planks
- In a large zip top bag place all marinade ingredients in and mix together.
- Place fish in bag and close tight. I would recommend putting the bag or bags in a dish so it doesn’t leak in the fridge.
- Allow to marinate for 2-4 hrs.
- When you are ready to cook place the fish on the planks and on the grill over low heat and cook until just firm to the touch or desired doneness.
- If you have an instant read thermometer about 120-125 degrees for a rarer salmon and up to 145 for more well done. But trust me when I say this fish is so good you don’t want to over cook it!
- Enjoy!

OMG, this fish looks so good, so delicious and just wow! I haven’t had salmon in a few years to be honest and I think it’s about time I tried this recipe out. Thank you so much for the recipe, I will attempt to make it as glorious as you do.

Yeah this is the way to make some really good quality salmon. I will have to check out this Pure Food Fish Market whenever I go over to Seattle. Would love to try their salmon, especially with this recipe. Just looks and sounds so darn good!
Gosh I wish I had that in front of me right now. It literally looks like the best salmon I’ve ever seen ever. Anyways, I’m going to try to make some salmon just like this, though I doubt I can make it this good, we will see though.
Yeah tried this recipe as I actually shop at the Pure Food Fish Market for everything fish and you really have a good recipe on hand here. You really can’t go wrong with their salmon, it’s one of the best around hands down.
I love fish, simple as that. Salmon is probably my go too fish for taste these days and I need my fill of it very soon. Haven’t had salmon in about three months maybe and now that I see there’s this awesome recipe in front of me, I must partake in making it soon. Thanks!
Fish is awesome! Gosh I haven’t had fish in a month or so, I think it’s time I go and get me some salmon very soon. My father works wonders with fish and maybe I’ll send this his way to see if he’ll make this for my boyfriend and I soon. Would love to eat salmon again.
Salmon rocks! It’s one of my all time favorite fish foods to eat hands down. I never saw salmon that looked that good though, so I’m going to try following your recipe, because goodness does it look good and I love fish. Yum!
Interesting recipe!
I never done anything with the salmon besides frying and grilling but it was perfect .
I will try your recipe!
Can this be baked in the oven? If so, at what temperature and for how long? It looks so delicious!!!!
It was and tells you, 10 min at 400deg
Could you use this on any type of fish???? Not a fan of Salmon.
No c dear planks to get here in the desert????????
I don’t know where you live, but you can pick them up at Walmart, or most any big box store that sells grills, charcoal, wood chips, etc. They’re usually near where they keep all their charcoal. No luck there? Do a google search, or go to Amazon, and I’m sure you’ll find a source.
Picked up Salmon from costco. Followed recipe x2. Baked in oven 400 degrees. The best fastest Salmon recipe ever!!!!
