Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon bourbon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 spray (as needed) olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk together until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Place them in a shallow dish and pour half of the bourbon marinade over the salmon. Reserve the remaining marinade for glazing. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 10 minutes, turning occasionally to coat evenly.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease with olive oil spray.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the salmon and set the oven to broil.
Brush the reserved marinade over the salmon fillets and return them to the oven under the broiler. Broil for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the glaze caramelizes lightly.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Sprinkle the salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the salmon warm with your choice of side, such as steamed vegetables or a light salad, for a balanced, low-fat meal.
