BOURBON GRILLED SALMON



BOURBON GRILLED SALMON image

Categories     Fish     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Backyard BBQ     Dinner     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

2-lb center cut salmon fillet (about 1" thick), skin separated, then replaced.
Olive oil
Salt and ground white or black pepper
1/4 cup maple syrup
Juice and zest of 1/2 small orange
2 tbsp of bourbon (or substitute your own liquer or liquor)

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to medium and prepare it for indirect cooking. On a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side and cook on the cooler side. On a gas grill, turn off one burner and cook on the cooler side. Check for and remove any small bones from the fillet, brush on all sides with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Lay the fish, skin side down, directly on the cooking grate, on the cooler side of the grill. Cook until opaque, but still moist, about 20-25 min. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, orange zest and juice, bourbon and a pinch of salt. Brush the glaze over the fillet in the last 10 minutes of cooking. Do NOT turn the fillet during cooking. Transfer the fillet to a serving platter by sliding a spatula between the fish and the skin. Keep the fillet warm. (Optional) Slide the skin over to the hot side and cook until bubbling with a closed lid. Serve the skin as you would a chip.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid fillets that are soft or have any brown spots.
  • Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse the salmon with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
  • Grill the salmon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and drying out.
  • Cook the salmon until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit when it is cooked through.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Bourbon grilled salmon is best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Bourbon grilled salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. By following these tips, you can grill the perfect salmon fillet every time. So fire up your grill and enjoy this delicious dish!
