Ingredients
  • 1 lb. sockeye salmon filets
  • 1 Tbs coarse salt
  • ½ tsp fresh cracked pepper
  • ¾ C bourbon
  • ⅔ C cane sugar or coconut sugar

  • 1 tsp fish sauce or worcestire
Instructions
  1. Combine the bourbon, sugar,garlic,mustard,apple cider vinegar,fish sauce or worceshire in a small saucepan.
  2. Simmer for 10 minutes until volume reduces by about half. Set aside to cool and thicken while your salmon cooks.
  3. You can grill or broil the salmon filets, whichever you prefer, set either your oven to high broil or your grill to high.
  4. Thoroughly dry the salmon filets and coat with generous coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  5. For a thick filet each side will require about 5 minutes on the grill or under the broiler, for thinner filets reduce time accordingly.
  6. Coat salmon with the bourbon glaze and garnish with some sesame seeds and greens onions or just enjoy as is.
  7. This recipe makes about ½ C of glaze so you will likely have some leftover, it's great with grilled meats and veggies.
