Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a bright, vibrant color.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade in this recipe infuses the salmon with citrus, bourbon, and herbs, resulting in a moist and delicious fish.
- Grill the salmon over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while cooking it evenly throughout.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough, so it is important to keep an eye on it while it is cooking.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables, grilled fruit, or a simple salad.

The marinade infuses the salmon with flavor, and the grilling process creates a nice sear on the outside of the fish while cooking it evenly throughout. Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
