Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 120 milliliters Bourbon
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 60 milliliters Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the bourbon glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice.
Stir the sauce regularly and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Place the seared salmon fillets in an oven-proof dish. Pour the bourbon glaze evenly over the salmon.
Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the salmon with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the bourbon glazed salmon warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or steamed rice.
