Ingredients
Cedar Planks
4 (soaked in warm water)
Salmon Portions
24 ounces (skinless, cut into 4 portions)
Olive Oil
1 teaspoon (for sautéing)
Garlic
1 tablespoon (chopped)
Teriyaki Sauce
1/4 cup (for marinade)
Honey
2 tablespoons (for sweetness)
Brown Sugar

Lime Juice
2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed)
Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
1/4 cup (for glaze)

Instructions
1
Soak the cedar planks in warm water for at least one hour to prevent burning on the grill.
2
Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare for indirect cooking by pushing the coals to one side.
3
While the cedar planks soak, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until it becomes fragrant and starts to brown lightly, about 2 minutes.
4
Stir in the teriyaki sauce, honey, and brown sugar. Let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until it reduces by about one-third, stirring occasionally.
5
Add the Captain Morgan spiced rum to the pan and continue to simmer for another 3 minutes to integrate the flavors. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lime zest.
6
Take the soaked cedar planks and rub the cut side of the spent limes on them to infuse extra flavor.
7
Place the salmon portions on the cedar planks and drizzle the prepared Captain Morgan lime glaze generously over the top of each piece of salmon.
8
Arrange the planked salmon on the grill, ensuring they are positioned away from direct heat (for a gas grill, turn off the middle burners).
9
Close the grill lid and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Check for doneness periodically to avoid overcooking.
