Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon filets
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves, minced Fresh garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon, butter, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens. Remove it from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let the marinade cool to room temperature.
Place the salmon filets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the cooled marinade over the salmon, making sure to coat each filet thoroughly. Cover or seal and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and allow the excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Place the salmon filets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken into a glaze.
Remove the salmon from the grill and drizzle the bourbon glaze over each filet.
Serve immediately, garnished with a wedge of lemon or fresh herbs if desired.
