Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Salmon fillets
- 0.33 cup Bourbon
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (gluten-free, low-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Swerve brown sugar substitute
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the bourbon, soy sauce, Swerve brown sugar substitute, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, and then drizzle the lemon juice evenly over all fillets.
Liberally season each fillet with salt and black pepper.
Brush each fillet generously with the bourbon glaze, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Before serving, garnish the salmon with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the Keto Bourbon Glazed Salmon with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
