Description
A delicious and flavorful Maple-Bourbon Glazed Salmon recipe that will delight your tastebuds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, bourbon, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Brush the thickened glaze over the salmon during the last minute of cooking.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Serve the salmon over a bed of quinoa or brown rice for a complete meal.
