Description

This Bourbon Peach Salmon combines the richness of salmon with a sweet and tangy bourbon peach glaze, creating an impressive and flavorful dish. The caramelized, slightly smoky glaze brings out the natural flavors of the salmon while adding a touch of warmth from the bourbon and sweetness from the peaches. Perfect for an elegant yet easy-to-make dinner.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1/2 cup peach preserves (or peach jam)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down if it has skin, and cook for 3-4 minutes until it forms a golden crust. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Make the bourbon peach glaze: In the same skillet, add the bourbon and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate slightly. Stir in the peach preserves, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens.
  • Glaze the salmon: Return the salmon to the skillet, spoon the glaze over each piece, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to coat the salmon well with the glaze.
  • Serve: Transfer the salmon to a serving plate, drizzle any remaining glaze over the top, and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in a bit of the glaze (without the bourbon) for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
  • If fresh peaches are available, chop one up and add it to the glaze for extra texture.
  • This recipe pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
