Bacon Bourbon Glazed Salmon
Ingredients
- 4 filets Wild Caught Salmon
- 4 slices Bacon
- 1/3 cup Bourbon
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F (204 C). Bake 4 slices of bacon in the oven until bacon slices are crispy. While your bacon is baking in the oven, clean salmon filets and remove skin. Pat salmon filets dry, season with salt and pepper and set aside. TIP: It is good to cook fish that is not cold, so that it cooks more evenly.
- Once bacon is crispy, remove from oven and place inside of a food processor. To the food processor, add 1/4 cup of light brown sugar. Pulse and chop ingredients together until bacon brown sugar crumbles are formed. Remove crumbles from food processor, and place inside of a bowl, set aside.
- Take a nonstick frying pan, and melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, stir until a brown sugar gravy is formed. After bourbon and butter are combined, place salmon filets on top of gravy. Once salmon filets are in the pan, do not fidget with them. Allow them to cook undisturbed without flipping until salmon is almost cooked through.
- Once salmon filets are almost cooked, flip each to the other side, and use a spoon to rub on brown sugar bacon crumbles. Once filets are covered with brown sugar bacon crumbles, lower heat and slowly pour in 1/3 cup bourbon. As salmon finishes up cooking, slightly tilt the frying pan and use a spoon to scoop up bourbon and brown sugar renderings and drizzle this back on top of the salmon for one minute. Turn off heat and remove salmon. Enjoy!
