Instructions
- Add the scallions, ginger, garlic, bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, and honey to a medium-size pot and simmer over medium-low heat until thick while occasionally stirring, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Set it aside and keep warm.
- Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Add 3 tablespoons of sesame oil to a large sauté pan or flat top over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke lightly. You may need to cook the salmon in batches if there is not enough room in the pan.
- Turn the heat down to medium and sear the salmon until golden brown and medium in the center, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Serve with the bourbon glaze and a side of roasted asparagus.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten right away. However, you can make it up to 30 minutes ahead of time, keep it warm before serving.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired number of salmon to a pan and cook in the oven at 350° for 4-5 minutes or until warmed. You can also heat it in the microwave until warm. Heat the sauce separate from the salmon in a small-sized sauté pan over low heat until hot.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This will freeze covered for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
- You can grill the salmon instead of cooking it in a pan over medium to high heat for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Oils I prefer to use are olive, safflower, canola, or grapeseed.
- Note there will be plenty of glaze left over to use as a marinade or sauce for something else.
