Description

A sweet and savory roasted salmon dish featuring a bourbon-peach glaze, perfect for meal prep and weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each, skin-on or skinless)
2 large ripe peaches, sliced into thin wedges
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or low-sodium/tamari)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
Salt, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place salmon on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, skin-side down.
In a small bowl, whisk together bourbon, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Arrange peach slices around the salmon on the baking sheet.
Roast for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, brush half the glaze over the salmon, and drizzle remaining glaze over peaches.
Return to oven and roast for another 5-7 minutes until salmon flakes easily and reaches desired internal temperature.
Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before seasoning to help glaze stick. Use a smooth, medium-bodied bourbon like Maker’s Mark. Salmon continues to cook after removal from oven; pull when just barely opaque. Can be eaten cold or reheated gently.
