Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup gluten-free soy sauce
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup bourbon
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, bourbon, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the bourbon marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning the fillets occasionally.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 4

Remove the salmon from the marinade and gently pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side up, and sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned.

Step 6

Turn the fillets over and brush the tops generously with the reserved marinade.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Step 8

While the salmon is baking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with the thickened glaze.

Step 10

Sprinkle with sliced green onions and season with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
