The Best Bourbon Glazed Salmon Recipes

GARLIC BROWN SUGAR GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay the salmon on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold up the sides of the aluminum foil around the salmon.
• In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the glaze over the salmon. Top the salmon with aluminum foil and seal.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until salmon is cooked throughout. Take the foil off of the top and baste the salmon with the sauce in the foil. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until brown and caramelized. Garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley if desired.

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.

BOURBON-GLAZED SALMON FILLET

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, water, bourbon, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, ginger, salt, pepper and garlic in a shallow dish large enough to hold the salmon. Add the salmon fillet, turning in the marinade to coat completely, cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you could place the salmon and marinade in a resealable bag.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F and coat a baking sheet or broiler pan with non-stick spray.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and place skin side down on the baking sheet. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes to reduce the liquid until it is slightly thick and syrupy.
• Brush some of the syrupy glaze over the top of the salmon. Transfer the baking sheet with the salmon to the oven and broil 6-8 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Do not over cook (see notes).
• To serve, transfer the salmon fillet to a serving platter and spoon some of the reduced marinade sauce over the top and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.

THE BEST BOURBON-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add fish to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 1 1/2 hours, turning occasionally.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add fish and marinade to pan; cook fish 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 plates; drizzle each serving with about 2 teaspoons sauce. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon green onions and 3/4 teaspoon sesame seeds.

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!
