Crab Dip Salmon with Bloody Mary Sauce

Oh baby baby, only invite your closest and dearest for this masterpiece. Expect several marriage offers and endearing thank you letters after you serve this Crab Dip Salmon with Bloody Mary Sauce.

Tips / Suggestions

• I prefer to cook salmon to 125 degrees F internal for farm raised. If it’s wild caught I would go to 120 degrees F internal. Either way, cook to your desired doneness.

• If you don’t have a small torch of some kind to char the planks, just soak them in water for 1 hour, and then place them over the grill, flipping until you get a good char on both sides.

• It’s much easier to use the planks as a serving dish. Sometimes I run into issues when trying to remove from the plank and place on a plate, as it can fall apart or stick to the wood.

• If you have a little extra cash, buy all jumbo lump crab. It definitely makes a difference in my opinion.

Two of my favorite seafood dishes combined into one. Cedar planked salmon coated in crab dip and topped with a bloody mary sauce. Thanks to Old Bay for the crab dip recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 1 whole salmon filet (skin on)

• 1 tbsp 1 salt

• 1 tbsp 1 pepper

• 1 tbsp 1 chives chopped

• Crab Dip

• 1/2 lb 1/2 crab claw meat

• 1/2 lb 1/2 shredded crab

• 8 oz 8 soft cream cheese

• 2 tbsp 2 mayo

• 1/2 cup 1/2 sour cream

• 1/2 1/2 lemon juiced

• 1 tsp 1 ground mustard

• 1 tbsp 1 worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 tsp 1/2 garlic powder

• 1/2 cup 1/2 bloody mary mix

• 1/2 cup 1/2 sharp cheddar cheese

• 1 tbsp 1 Old Bay

• Bloody Mary Sauce

• 1/4 cup 1/4 bloody mary mix

• 1/4 cup 1/4 ketchup

• 2 tsp 2 worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp 1 molasses

Directions

• Combine all of the crab dip ingredient into a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly, and set aside.
• Add the bloody mary sauce ingredients to a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil and then simmer for roughly 10 minutes. Once cooled, pour into a squeeze bottle, and set aside.
• Take 1 or 2 cedar planks (depending on how large they are) and torch both sides until they are charred. Take the salmon filet and cut into equal portions. Place each portion on the charred cedar plank(s). Coat the salmon with the salt / pepper.
• Heat your grill to 350 degrees F direct. Add the planked salmon to the grill, coat with the crab dip, and cook for roughly 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 125 degrees F.
• Remove the salmon from the grill, top with the chives / bloody mary sauce, and dig in.
