Crab Dip
This Crab Dip Salmon with Bloody Mary Sauce is a bold, flavor-packed seafood dish that brings together two coastal classics. Grilled on cedar planks over a charcoal fire, the salmon develops a rich, smoky base while being topped with a creamy, decadent crab dip. A drizzle of zesty Bloody Mary sauce adds a tangy punch that ties it all together. Made on the Kamado Joe Konnected Joe™, this recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor with backyard simplicity.
“Creamy crab dip, smoky cedar salmon, and tangy Bloody Mary drizzle — this dish hits every flavor note.”
The Konnected Joe™ offers digital control with the unmistakable flavor of real charcoal. It holds a steady 350°F for plank grilling, while the ceramic body and fan-assisted airflow ensure even cooking. Cedar planked salmon benefits from the consistent heat and natural smoke, and the smart grilling features let you dial in temperature with precision—no babysitting required.
Instructions
-
01
In a mixing bowl, combine all crab dip ingredients. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well-blended. Set aside.
-
02
In a small saucepan, combine Bloody Mary mix, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and molasses. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and transfer to a squeeze bottle.
-
03
Use a torch to char both sides of the cedar planks. This enhances the smoky flavor and helps prevent sticking. Set aside.
-
04
Cut the salmon filet into equal portions and place on the charred planks. Season each piece with salt and pepper.
-
05
Preheat your Kamado Joe Konnected Joe™ to 350°F with a direct heat setup.
-
06
Place the cedar planks with salmon directly onto the grill. Top each piece of salmon with a generous spoonful of crab dip. Close the lid and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F.
-
07
Remove the planked salmon from the grill. Drizzle with Bloody Mary sauce, sprinkle with chopped chives, and serve immediately.
