Bourbon Basted Salmon Recipes

SALMON WITH BROWN SUGAR AND BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar. Place salmon fillets on top of brown sugar mixture. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. Turn salmon, and pour bourbon around the fillets. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Spoon glaze over the salmon, and serve.

MAPLE-BOURBON BASTED GRILLED SALMON RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high. Brush grill grate with oil. Combine maple syrup, bourbon, butter, and vinegar in a small saucepan on the stove top; boil over medium-high heat until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season fillets with salt and pepper. Grill fillets, covered, 3 minutes. Flip fillets, baste with maple glaze and grill until firm to the touch, 2-3 minutes more. Baste fillets again before serving.

BOURBON GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• For the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the bourbon, sugar, soy sauce, garlic and mustard. Bring to a boil and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes, or until reduced by half. Remove from heat and let sit to thicken.
• Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay the salmon skin side down on a lightly oiled wire rack set over a baking sheet (to catch the drips). If you don't have a rack, a baking sheet will work just fine. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or so, depending on the size of your fish. When the salmon is nearly done, turn the broiler on in your oven. With a food brush, spread the glaze on top of the salmon. Be generous with your glaze!
• Return to the oven and broil (not too close to heat) for about 30 seconds. Watch carefully that glaze doesn't burn. Repeat the process: take out the salmon, brush with more of the glaze and broil for a few seconds. Remove from oven.
• Arrange the fillets on each plate and drizzle each serving with the remaining glaze. Enjoy!
