  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless depending on preference)
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup bourbon whisky
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bourbon Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine bourbon, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces slightly to form a syrupy glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  3. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil to enhance oven roasting.
  4. Arrange and Add Peaches: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Surround each fillet with peach slices. Brush the salmon generously with the bourbon peach glaze, reserving some for serving later.
  5. Roast the Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. During the last few minutes, brush the fillets again with the glaze for extra flavor and shine.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme or basil if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best flavor, reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, and consider drizzling with fresh glaze or a squeeze of lemon before serving again.
  • This dish pairs well with quinoa, roasted vegetables, salads, or creamy risotto. Adjust cooking time based on thickness of salmon fillets for perfect doneness.
