Equipment
- baking dish
- small saucepan
- oven
Ingredients
- 4 fillets salmon about 6 oz each
- ½ cup peach preserves or jam
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger optional
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- fresh thyme for garnish
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peach preserves, bourbon, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and ginger (if using). Stir and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon half of the bourbon peach glaze over the salmon, coating each fillet evenly.
- Roast the salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. In the last 2-3 minutes of roasting, brush on the remaining glaze.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley before serving.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the glaze. Substitute the salmon with trout or cod for a different texture. If peach preserves are unavailable, apricot or mango jam can be used as a substitute.
