Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Wild Alaskan salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices Fresh lemon slices
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Place the Wild Alaskan salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all fillets are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down, and arrange lemon slices on top of each fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
While the salmon bakes, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the thickened marinade glaze over the top of the salmon.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Wild Alaskan Sweet Bourbon Salmon with your favorite sides!
