Bourbon Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and minced garlic. This will be your marinade.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Preheat your grill or oven to a medium-high heat. If grilling, make sure the grates are well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the salmon from the marinade and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reserve the marinade for later.
  5. If grilling, place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. For oven baking, place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook for about 12-15 minutes, basting halfway through, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  7. Serve the bourbon glazed salmon with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your flavorful dish!
