  • Ingredients:
  • Salmon:
    • 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
    • Coarse salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Bourbon Peach Glaze:
    • ¼ cup peach jam (homemade preferred)
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 1 tablespoon bourbon
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ⅛ teaspoon chipotle powder

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season both sides of the salmon fillets with coarse salt and black pepper.
  2. Make the Bourbon Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the peach jam, honey, bourbon, garlic powder, and chipotle powder. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes smooth and begins to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Glaze and Bake the Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Brush a generous layer of the bourbon peach glaze over the salmon.
  4. Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  5. Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with any remaining glaze. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired.

Conclusion:

This Bourbon Peach Glazed Salmon offers a sweet, smoky flavor profile that pairs perfectly with the rich, buttery texture of salmon. The bourbon peach glaze caramelizes beautifully in the oven, creating a mouthwatering dish that’s both simple to prepare and packed with flavor.
