Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup gluten-free soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup bourbon
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the bourbon marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning the fillets occasionally.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and gently pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side up, and sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned.
Turn the fillets over and brush the tops generously with the reserved marinade.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
While the salmon is baking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with the thickened glaze.
Sprinkle with sliced green onions and season with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
