Best Wild Alaskan Sweet Bourbon Salmon Recipes

BOURBON GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• For the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the bourbon, sugar, soy sauce, garlic and mustard. Bring to a boil and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes, or until reduced by half. Remove from heat and let sit to thicken.
• Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay the salmon skin side down on a lightly oiled wire rack set over a baking sheet (to catch the drips). If you don't have a rack, a baking sheet will work just fine. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or so, depending on the size of your fish. When the salmon is nearly done, turn the broiler on in your oven. With a food brush, spread the glaze on top of the salmon. Be generous with your glaze!
• Return to the oven and broil (not too close to heat) for about 30 seconds. Watch carefully that glaze doesn't burn. Repeat the process: take out the salmon, brush with more of the glaze and broil for a few seconds. Remove from oven.
• Arrange the fillets on each plate and drizzle each serving with the remaining glaze. Enjoy!
