Make the Bourbon Glaze

Pre-Preparation

1In a small pan preheated over high heat, add the bourbon and let simmer for 2 minutes. Whisk in the ingredients for the Bourbon Glaze and let simmer over the flames until reduced by half & thickened (about 8-9 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 1

Arrange the oranges

Add all your sliced oranges to the cool side of the grill to create a “plank” for your salmon to lay on. Place the salmon on top of the oranges and lather it with half of the cooled bourbon glaze.

Step 2

Top with Bacon Pecan Mix

In a bowl, mix together your bacon pecan crust. Thoroughly cover the top of the salmon with the crust.

Step 3

Smoke and Glaze

Close your grill lid and cook indirect at 325F for 30 minutes until it reaches 135-145F internal. About 10 minutes before the salmon is done, drizzle the remaining glaze over the top of the pecan crust and let caramelize.

Step 4

Serve

When the salmon is done, pull it off and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve & enjoy!
