Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, combine bourbon, coconut aminos, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle them lightly with sea salt on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the salmon fillets skin side down to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each fillet generously with the bourbon glaze from the mixing bowl.
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
