Ingredients
- 4 Salmon fillets
- 5 tbsp bourbon whiskey
- 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 4 tbsp low sodium soya sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Black pepper (to season)
- Salt (to season)
- Green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Cooking spray / Oil
Instructions
-
Combine bourbon, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, soya sauce, lime juice in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil on medium heat. When it starts to bubble, reduce the heat and simmer it for 5-6 mins or until reduced to a half, and keep aside. The sauce should have a syrupy consistency.
-
Preheat your oven to a broil and position your racks not too close to the coil. Place your empty pan in the oven and let it heat for 6 minutes. Grease aluminum foil with cooking spray and place salmon fillets on it. Pat dry the fillets and season with salt and pepper.
-
Remove the pan from the oven using an oven mitt, place the foil with salmon on to the pan. Broil for 8-10 minutes or until cooked, depending upon the thickness of the salmon.
-
Remove from the oven and baste it with the prepared glaze. Broil again for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is caramelized. Make sure to keep an eye on the salmon to prevent it from burning.
-
Turn off the oven and remove the pan. Brush the salmon with more sauce and top with chopped green onions and sesame seeds to garnish.
-
Serve with white/brown rice/quinoa and steamed broccoli.
