Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and olive oil to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the salmon for at least 30 minutes to marinate, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 375°F or 190°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting (optional) or discard.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 6 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets using a spatula.
Cook the salmon for an additional 6 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork. Baste the salmon with the reserved marinade during grilling for added flavor, if desired.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
Enjoy your Grilled Bourbon Salmon with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
