Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Whisk together peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Divide the mixture, reserving half for glazing.
02 -
Place salmon fillets in a resealable bag and add the remaining half of the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes to enhance flavor.
03 -
Preheat oven to 190°C. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Sear salmon fillets skin-side up for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
04 -
Turn salmon fillets skin-side down. Arrange sliced peaches around the salmon in the skillet. Continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the peaches begin to soften.
05 -
Pour reserved glaze over the salmon and peaches. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 63°C.
06 -
Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Opt for high-quality salmon fillets and ripe peaches for optimal flavor. Avoid overcooking to maintain the fish’s moisture and delicate texture. For variation, add a splash of maple syrup to the glaze or grill the salmon for a smoky undertone.
