→ Salmon
11 -

12 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
13 -
2 medium peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
14 -
Fresh parsley, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. This will yield approximately 1 ½ cups of marinade. Set aside half of the mixture (about ¾ cup) and refrigerate it for later use.
02 -
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the remaining half of the marinade. Seal the bag and mix it well to coat the salmon. Place the bag in the refrigerator and let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
03 -
When ready, preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
04 -
Heat oil in a medium, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the marinated salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side up. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until seared and golden brown.
05 -
Flip the salmon fillets so the skin side is down. Add the sliced peaches to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, allowing the peaches to slightly soften and the salmon skin to sear.
06 -
Remove skillet from heat. Pour the reserved peach marinade into the skillet, evenly distributing it over the salmon and peaches.
07 -
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes (checking at 12 minutes), or until the salmon is cooked through. The internal temperature of fully cooked salmon should reach 63°C (145°F).
08 -
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For the best flavor, don't skip the marinating time as it allows the bourbon and peach flavors to infuse into the salmon.
