How to Make Planked Stuffed Salmon Steaks For Two

**Prepare the Thai Chili Marinade & Glaze:** In a small mason jar, combine:
* 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon lime juice
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1 teaspoon grated ginger
* 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
* 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Secure the lid and shake well to combine all ingredients.
Let the marinade sit for at least 20-30 minutes (or up to 2 weeks refrigerated) to allow the flavors to meld.
**Prepare the Cedar Plank:** Soak a cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour to prevent burning.
**Prepare the Salmon Filling:** Dice 4 large shrimp. In a bowl, gently combine the diced shrimp with:
* 4 ounces lump crab meat
* 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 teaspoon Thai chili marinade
Mix thoroughly and set aside.
**Stuff the Salmon:** Oil a cedar plank thoroughly. Place the salmon steaks on the oiled plank. Using a sharp knife, carefully make a slit down the center of each salmon steak, creating a pocket for the filling.
**Assemble & Grill:** Stuff the salmon with the crab and shrimp mixture. Top each steak with one whole shrimp. Brush generously with the Thai chili marinade.
Place the planked salmon on the upper rack of a preheated grill (375°F).
Grill for 7-10 minutes, brushing with marinade 2-3 times during cooking. Monitor closely to prevent burning. If the plank starts to burn, lightly spray with water to extinguish.
**Serve:** Remove from grill and serve immediately. Serves 2.
