Ingredients

Scale

Marinade Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (240 g) peach preserves
  • ¼ cup (56 g) bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon coarse ground mustard
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Main Ingredients

  • 4 salmon filets, about 1½ pounds, skins on
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
  • parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine marinade ingredients. In a medium bowl, mix peach preserves, bourbon, 2 tablespoons olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Set aside half of the marinade (about ¾ cup) for later use and refrigerate it.
  2. Marinate the salmon. Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour the remaining marinade over them. Seal the bag and gently massage to coat the salmon evenly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
  3. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting the salmon later.
  4. Heat oil and sear salmon. In a medium, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the marinated salmon fillets skin side up in the skillet. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Add sliced peaches and flip salmon. Gently flip the salmon so the skin side is down. Add the thinly sliced peaches around the salmon in the skillet. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes allowing the peaches to soften slightly and the salmon skin to sear.
  6. Pour in reserved marinade. Remove the skillet from heat and pour the reserved marinade evenly over the salmon and peaches.
  7. Bake the salmon. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes, until the salmon is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Serve immediately. Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish the dish with fresh parsley. Serve the bourbon peach roasted salmon hot for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • To check doneness, use a food thermometer to ensure the salmon reaches 145°F internally.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes for spice preference or omit if sensitivity to heat.
  • Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor; canned peaches will alter the texture.
  • Leftover marinade should not be reused as a sauce unless boiled thoroughly to ensure safety.
  • Skin-on salmon helps keep the fillets moist during cooking and adds texture.
