Description

This honey-balsamic salmon gets seared on a blazing hot grill for a perfect crust, then finished with a tangy-sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully in just minutes.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6-8oz fillets)
  • Olive oil
  • King Craw Seasoning (or your favorite Cajun-style blend)

For the Honey Balsamic Glaze:

  • 2 green onions (separate the whites and the greens), thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt & black pepper to taste (I used TX Brisket Rub)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your pellet grill to 400Β°F.
    You want those high temps to help build a crust and lock in the moisture.
  2. Prep the salmon:
    Lightly oil each fillet and season generously with King Craw seasoning on tops and sides. Let it sit while the grill heats up.
  3. Make the glaze:
    In a small saucepan, sautΓ© the green onion whites and garlic in a little oil until softened (1–2 minutes). Add the balsamic, honey, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer until slightly reduced and syrupy β€” about 5–7 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Grill the salmon:
    Place the fillets directly on the grates. Cook for about 13 minutes, or until the internal temp hits 125Β°F. The outside should have a nice crust at this point.
  5. Glaze it:
    Brush the salmon with the honey balsamic glaze and let it cook another 1–2 minutes until the glaze sets and your salmon reaches 135Β°F internal.
  6. Serve it up:
    Pull it off the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Pairs great with roasted veggies, rice, or even a fresh salad.

Oil up salmon fillets, season them heavy with King Crawβ€”or your favorite Cajun rubβ€”then throw them on a 400Β°F pellet or hot grill to build that craveable crust. While the salmon’s cooking, whisk together green onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt & pepper until it reduces into a syrupy glaze. Brush it on during the last couple of minutes so it caramelizes and locks in that sweet-tangy shine. Juicy, quick, and restaurant-worthy in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients


Instructions

  1. Split catfish filets in half lengthwise and pat dry with paper towel. Place filets on wire rack.
  2. Season fillets lightly with AP and King Craw on both sides and air dry for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Add cornmeal to a gallon size ziplock bag and season with 1/2 Tablespoon AP and 1/2 Tablespoon of King Craw. Shake to combine.
  4. Add filets to the seasoned cornmeal and toss to coat. Shake off excess in the bag and place back on wire rack. Work in batches not to over crowd the bag. Let the filets air dry again for 10-15.
  5. Prepare a deep fryer with peanut oil for frying at 350-375Β°F. Drop filets a few at a time in the hot oil and fry for 8-10 minutes or until frying slows and the filets float to the top. Don’t overcrowd the fryer of the fish can stick together.
  6. Drain the filets and place on a baking sheet lined with butcher paper.
  7. Serve hot with plenty of tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and hot sauce.

Frying catfish really is easy, it’s all about technique. For starters, you want smaller, thin filets of catfish to start – so your catfish cooks evenly and is crispy. Next you need to let the catfish filets dry really well – using a rack works best. The more moisture you can remove from the catfish, the crispier you will get the fish when it fries. Next comes the seasoning… I like to add a base layer of salt & pepper and then top that lightly with a cajun seasoning. For this recipe, I’m using my Killer Hogs AP Seasoning and Malcom’s King Craw – but you can use any all purpose seasoning or any cajun seasoning you like. Just make sure to go light when seasoning these catfish filets. After seasoning, it’s time to bread this fish. I like to keep it dry and simple here… I take 2 cups of cornmeal, place it in a ziplock bag, season it with my AP and King Craw and mix it together really well. Then you can add 2-4 fillets to the bag, shake the bag and then place your lightly breaded catfish back on the rack to dry for another 15 minutes before frying. Now comes the easy part – drop your catfish in 350-375 oil (I like to use peanut oil) and fry for around 8 minutes. You can tell the catfish is done when the frying slows down and the fillet floats to the top. Just don’t overcrowd the pot while frying your fish – it’s best to work in batches. And that’s it! Let the fish drain and serve it up with some homemade tartar sauce (recipe below)… this is how you cook perfectly fried catfish! Tartar Sauce Recipe
  • 2 cups Blue Plate Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sweet onion (finely minced)
  • 1/2 cup dill relish (drained)
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 2 teaspoons Killer Hogs Hot Sauce
  • 2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
  • Pinch of salt & pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a bowl until incorporated, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. The sugar does not make the tartar sauce sweet, but it does give it balance (but can be omitted for a sugar-free option). Tartar sauce can be kept up to a week in the refrigerator.
