Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Serving: 4

 

Ingredients:

Four salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup bourbon

Three tablespoons soy sauce

Two tablespoons of olive oil

Two cloves garlic, minced

One teaspoon of grated ginger

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

 

Directions:

Mix the brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to create the glaze. Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the glaze over the fillets.

Make sure the salmon is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, turning the fillets once halfway through.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Remove the salmon from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Let the excess marinade drip off the fillets. Place the salmon fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until the salmon is cooked through and has beautiful grill marks.

Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.

Once the salmon is done, transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra zest.
