How to Make Easy Baked Bourbon Glazed Salmon
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together water, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, bourbon, minced garlic, ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Strain the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the glaze thickens.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the sheet, brush with part of the glaze, and bake for 8-11 minutes.
- After baking, let the salmon rest for about 2 minutes. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the top, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
