The Best Bourbon Glazed Salmon Recipes

BOURBON-GLAZED SALMON FILLET

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, water, bourbon, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, ginger, salt, pepper and garlic in a shallow dish large enough to hold the salmon. Add the salmon fillet, turning in the marinade to coat completely, cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you could place the salmon and marinade in a resealable bag.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F and coat a baking sheet or broiler pan with non-stick spray.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and place skin side down on the baking sheet. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes to reduce the liquid until it is slightly thick and syrupy.
• Brush some of the syrupy glaze over the top of the salmon. Transfer the baking sheet with the salmon to the oven and broil 6-8 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Do not over cook (see notes).
• To serve, transfer the salmon fillet to a serving platter and spoon some of the reduced marinade sauce over the top and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.
