Ingredients

Scale

Marinade Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (240 g) peach preserves
  • ¼ cup (56 g) bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon coarse ground mustard
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salmon and Garnish

  • 4 salmon filets, about 1½ pounds, skins on
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
  • Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients for marinade. In a medium bowl, mix peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes thoroughly. This mixture will make approximately 1 ½ cups of marinade. Set aside half of it (about ¾ cup) and refrigerate for later use.
  2. Marinate salmon. Place the salmon filets in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the remaining marinade. Seal the bag tightly and turn to coat the salmon evenly. Refrigerate and let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
  3. Preheat oven. When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Heat oil and sear salmon. Warm 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the marinated salmon fillets skin side up in the hot oil. Sear for 2-3 minutes until the salmon is golden brown and slightly crispy on the surface.
  5. Add sliced peaches and flip salmon. Flip the salmon fillets skin side down in the skillet. Arrange the thinly sliced peaches around the salmon. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the peaches to soften slightly and the salmon skin to crisp up.
  6. Pour in reserved marinade. Remove the skillet from heat and evenly pour the reserved marinade over the salmon and peaches for extra flavor and moisture.
  7. Bake salmon. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the salmon and peaches for 12-15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Serve. Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish the salmon and peaches with fresh parsley. Serve immediately to enjoy warm and flavorful salmon with a peachy bourbon glaze.

Notes

  • Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 1 hour to prevent the citrus and vinegar from cooking the fish too much.
  • If you don’t have bourbon, a whiskey or brandy substitute will also work well.
  • Use fresh peaches in season for best flavor, but frozen sliced peaches can be used if fresh are unavailable.
  • Make sure your skillet is oven-safe before transferring it to the oven.
  • Salmon skin is edible and crisps nicely when seared; you can remove it after cooking if preferred.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice tolerance; omit for a milder flavor.
