Ingredients

For the Marinade

  • ¾ cup 240 g peach preserves
  • ¼ cup 56 g bourbon
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp Dijon coarse ground mustard
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

For the Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets about 1½ lbs, skin on
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium peaches pitted and thinly sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Set aside ¾ cup and refrigerate. Place salmon fillets in a resealable bag with the remaining marinade, coat well, and chill for 30–60 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side up for 2–3 minutes until golden, then flip skin-side down. Add peach slices and cook 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Remove from heat, pour reserved marinade over salmon and peaches, and transfer skillet to the oven. Bake 12–15 minutes, checking at 12, until salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with peaches and pan sauce.
