Ingredients

For the Salmon

4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Bourbon Peach Glaze

1 cup peaches fresh or frozen, diced
¼ cup bourbon
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

For Garnish

2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Extra peach slices optional
Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare salmon

Place salmon fillets on baking sheet. Pat dry, then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper.

3. Make peach bourbon glaze

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes.
Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lightly mash peaches to create a thick, chunky glaze.

4. Glaze salmon

Spoon peach bourbon glaze generously over each salmon fillet, reserving some for later.

5. Roast

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes for a caramelized top.

6. Serve

Drizzle with remaining glaze and garnish with parsley and extra peach slices. Serve with lemon wedges.

📝 Notes

Salmon Choice: Fresh salmon fillets with the skin on work best for roasting because they stay moist and flavorful.
Peach Options: Fresh ripe peaches give the best flavor, but frozen or canned peaches (well-drained) can also be used.
Bourbon Flavor: The bourbon adds a rich caramel-like depth to the glaze; most of the alcohol cooks off during roasting.
Balance the Sweetness: A touch of Dijon mustard or soy sauce helps balance the sweetness from the peaches and glaze.
Roasting Temperature: Bake the salmon at around 400°F (200°C) so it cooks quickly while staying tender and flaky.
Doneness Check: Salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serving Ideas: Serve with roasted vegetables, rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently to avoid drying out.
