Bourbon-Glazed Salmon

Course: Main Course, Seafood
Author: Cooking Light, October 2007

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted

Instructions

  • Combine first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add fish to bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 1 1/2 hours, turning occasionally.
  • 1st Method:
  • Grill
  • 2nd Method:
  • Remove salmon from marinade and place in a foil lined pan. Pour remaining marinade in a saucepan, bring to a boil for a few minutes until it is reduced some & thickened. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. Spoon thickened marinade over salmon and broil a minute or so until slightly caramelized and cooked to your liking.
  • 3rd Method:
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add fish and marinade to pan; cook fish 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 plates; drizzle each serving with about 2 teaspoons sauce. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon green onions and 3/4 teaspoon sesame seeds.

Notes

Dark rum is a great substitution for bourbon.
The salmon is very good with a baked sweet potato. A very nice presentation is to serve to salmon (leaving skin in pan) beside buttered, whipped sweet potatoes.
I like to bake the salmon.
