Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 0.25 cups Bourbon
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Honey

• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 slices Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
• 0.25 cups Peanuts (roasted and chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the glaze.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down.

Brush a generous amount of the bourbon glaze over the salmon fillets, reserving some for later.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the salmon is baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces.

Step 7

Chop the peanuts into small pieces and set aside.

Step 8

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze for added flavor.

Step 9

Plate the salmon and garnish each fillet with crumbled bacon and chopped peanuts.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch, if desired.
