Brown Sugar Bourbon Salmon

Print Recipe

A sweet and savory salmon dish marinated in bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, and lime juice, then glazed and baked to perfection with a rich, syrupy bourbon glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ lbs. salmon (4 – 6 oz. portions)
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 3 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp. lime juice (fresh squeezed)
  • 1 tsp. ginger (grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and lime juice in a glass baking dish or zip-top bag. Place salmon in dish or bag, turn to coat in marinade, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Remove salmon from marinade and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Transfer salmon marinade to a small pot. Cook over medium-high heat until slightly thickened and syrupy, about 6 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Heat butter in a nonstick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Place salmon in the pan and cook for 4 minutes without disturbing. Flip salmon and place on lined sheet pan.
  7. Brush glaze on salmon, then bake for 8–10 minutes.
  8. Brush or spoon glaze on salmon once more before serving.

Notes

Marinating the salmon for an hour allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the fish. The glaze should be cooked until syrupy to ensure it coats the salmon well. Use a nonstick or cast iron skillet for best searing results.
