Cook Time
15 minutes
3 lb Salmon Filet
Heath Riles BBQ Honey Chipotle Rub
¼ cup of unsalted butter
½ tsp of Heath Riles BBQ Honey Rub
¼ cup of Mike’s Hot Honey
Stoke your pizza oven of choice with wood and Royal Oak Charcoal Tumbleweed Fire Starters. Fire it up to 650℉, moving the fire to the grate of the oven.
While the oven heats, prep the salmon by cutting meat off the tail and belly area. Your salmon filet should resemble a smooth slab of ribs that’s even on the sides.
Season the fish with Heath Riles BBQ Honey Chipotle Rub and lay lemon slices over the top.
Remove the fish from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme if desired.
