Ingredients
- 1/3 cup bourbon
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2/3 cup soy sauce
- 6 6- ounce fillets of fresh wild-caught skinned salmon
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
Instructions
- Pour the bourbon, soy, and brown sugar into a medium-sized bowl and whisk very well until completely combined, then transfer it to a plastic slider bag with the salmon and toss around and marinate in the refrigerator overnight or up to 48 hours, and 2 hours minimum.
- Once the salmon is done marinating, remove it from the bag and set it aside. Discard the marinade.
- Add the 3 tablespoons of sesame oil to a large sauté pan over medium heat and heat until the oil just begins to smoke lightly. Add in the salmon.
- Once the salmon is in the pan, turn the heat down to medium. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side for a medium to medium-well internal temperature. Be sure to watch closely, as the brown sugar and soy will want to burn rather quickly. It can go from caramelization to scorching very fast.
- When it’s finished cooking, remove it from the pan, and set it aside.
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-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Feel free to use thawed frozen salmon.
