Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup bourbon
• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 cup sugar-free maple syrup
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine bourbon, low-sodium soy sauce, sugar-free maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the salmon, reserving the other half for later. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the salmon is marinating, prepare your baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil, shiny side up, and lightly brush with olive oil.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Discard used marinade.

Step 6

Brush the top of the salmon fillets generously with the reserved marinade.

Step 7

Sprinkle black pepper over the salmon fillets.

Step 8

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has reached your preferred level of doneness.

Step 9

During the last 5 minutes of baking, switch the oven to broil to caramelize the glaze on top of the salmon. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 10

Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over salmon before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious low carb bourbon glazed salmon!
