Ingredients

Scale

Marinade

  • 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, thinly sliced
  • parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients for marinade. In a medium bowl, mix peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined. This will yield about 1 ½ cups of marinade. Reserve half of it (about ¾ cup) by refrigerating for later use.
  2. Marinate salmon. Place the salmon fillets into a resealable plastic bag and pour the remaining half of the marinade over the fish. Seal the bag and gently massage to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
  3. Preheat the oven. When ready to cook, set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting.
  4. Heat oil and sear marinated salmon. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a medium, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin side up and cook for 2-3 minutes until the surface is seared and golden brown.
  5. Add sliced peaches. Flip the salmon so the skin side is down. Add the thinly sliced peaches around the fillets in the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the peaches to soften slightly and the salmon skin to crisp.
  6. Pour in reserved marinade. Remove the skillet from heat and evenly pour the reserved peach marinade over the salmon and peaches.
  7. Bake the salmon. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes. Check at 12 minutes for doneness. The salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) when fully cooked.
  8. Serve immediately. Once done, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the bourbon peach roasted salmon hot alongside the peaches for a balanced sweet and savory meal.

Notes

  • Marinate the salmon for up to 1 hour; longer marination may alter the texture due to the acidic ingredients.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet to avoid transferring the salmon to another dish for baking.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • Peaches should be ripe but firm to hold shape during cooking.
  • Check the salmon’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
