Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine bourbon, coconut aminos, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle them lightly with sea salt on both sides.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the salmon fillets skin side down to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Brush each fillet generously with the bourbon glaze from the mixing bowl.
Step 7
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
