Description
A delightful blend of savory and sweet, this dish features succulent salmon glazed with bourbon and caramelized peaches, perfect for family gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon filets (fresh, wild-caught recommended)
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- ½ cup bourbon
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (thyme or basil) for garnish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup of bourbon, ¼ cup of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard until the sugar is dissolved. Add salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Place the salmon filets in the marinade and soak for at least 30 minutes (2 hours for best results).
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the peaches in half, remove the pit, and cut into wedges. Toss the peaches in the remaining marinade for about 10 minutes.
- On a lined baking sheet, place the marinated salmon skin-side down. Arrange peach wedges around the salmon, pouring any remaining marinade over everything.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily and the peaches are caramelized.
- Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top before serving and drizzle with leftover glaze.
Notes
Keep the skin on the salmon during cooking for moisture retention. Monitor cooking closely to avoid dryness.
