Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 0.25 cups Bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 0.25 cups Peanuts (roasted and chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down.
Brush a generous amount of the bourbon glaze over the salmon fillets, reserving some for later.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces.
Chop the peanuts into small pieces and set aside.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze for added flavor.
Plate the salmon and garnish each fillet with crumbled bacon and chopped peanuts.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet, smoky, and nutty delight!
