Bourbon Glazed Salmon
Ingredients
3⁄4 cup bourbon
2⁄3 cup brown sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vinegar (I used red apple balsamic, apple cider would work well too.)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1⁄2 tablespoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Combine bourbon, sugar, mustard, garlic, honey, vinegar and Worcestershire in small saucepan and stir well. Bring to boil over high heat. Reduce to simmer and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until sauce has reduced by half. Remove from heat.
2. Heat broiler. Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
3. Brush salmon with glaze. Serve additional glaze with salmon.
Comments
This recipe is from How Sweet It Is. It lead me to the new experience of buying bourbon, I went with Jim Beam since it was the only name I recognized. The glaze was pretty standard. It was a bit sweet and would probably go well with pork or chicken when grilling. I don’t think I’ll rush to make this again in the future, but it’s an easy way to prepare salmon that would go with most side dishes. I served it with simply sautéed broccoli and rice.
