Bourbon Maple Salmon Recipe
This is an easy recipe that can be ready to serve in 30 minutes! Healthy and delicious!
Ingredients
- 4 6 oz Salmon Filets
- 1/4 cup Packed Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup *I used pure, organic syrup
- 3 tbsp Bourbon
- 1 tbsp Honey *optional, I added this to the recipe
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Chopped Walnuts *I used pecans instead
- 1/2 cup Green Onions, chopped *I had extra for garnish
- 6 pieces Thick Cut Cooked Bacon, chopped *the recipe only required 4, but the more bacon the better in my opinion!
Instructions
- Place salmon in a baking dish while preparing the sauce.
- Combine the first four ingredients and pour over the salmon. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add the salmon filets and any sauce in the dish to the skillet. Cook until the fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. 4-6 minutes per side depending on how thick your filets are. Mine were thick so I took the full 6 minutes.
- Remove salmon from skillet and keep warm in baking dish. Add nuts, green onions and bacon to skillet. Heat through and pour over salmon. Garnish with extra green onions.
- Serve with salad or a vegetable! Then enjoy!
