Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often treated with antibiotics and pesticides.
  • Make sure the salmon is cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit when cooked.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality bourbon. The bourbon you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the glaze.
  • Reduce the glaze until it is thick and syrupy. This will help it stick to the salmon and give it a delicious caramelized flavor.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

This recipe for salmon with brown sugar and bourbon glaze is a delicious and easy way to cook salmon. The glaze is sweet and savory, and it perfectly complements the delicate flavor of the salmon. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
