Description

Broiled salmon with a crispy crust and a bourbon glaze.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Bourbon
  • ⅔ cups Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Mustard
  • 1 clove Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 pound Fresh Salmon
  • 1 Tablespoon Coarse Sea Salt
  • ½ Tablespoons Black Pepper

Preparation

Combine the bourbon, sugar, mustard, garlic, honey, vinegar and Worcestershire in a small saucepan and whisk. Heat over high heat and allow it to come to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let simmer for 8–10 minutes, or until mixture reduces by about half. Pour mixture in a bowl and let sit at room temperature while the salmon cooks. The glaze will thicken a bit at this time.

Preheat the broiler in your oven. Make sure the salmon is dry and season it with the coarse salt and pepper on both sides. Lay it on a non-stick baking sheet. Broil for about 5–6 minutes on each side, until the top develops a crispy crust. If your salmon is very thick, you may need to go a little longer.

Remove the salmon from the oven and brush it with the bourbon glaze. Add as much or as little as you would like. Feel free to use it as a dipping sauce too. The glaze can be stored in the fridge for a week or two—just allow it to come to room temperature (or slightly warm it) before using.

Much too salty and the sauce wasn’t terribly tasty. I won’t be trying this again.

Yum. I made it without the bourbon last night and it was delicious. I’ll be serving this one frequently.

This was a great meal to celebrate the first day of my guys new job, and we both loved it.

One piece of advice- I often buy sokeye salmon, which generally has a thinner filet. I happened to buy some thicker atlantic salmon this time and it worked perfectly, the salmon was done right when the outside got nice and crispy. If you do have thinner filets, I would recommend searing them in a pan until you get a nice crispy top and then finishing up in the oven to ensure the top gets crispy without totally overcooking the salmon.
