This Bourbon Peach Roasted Salmon recipe combines tender, juicy salmon fillets with a sweet and tangy bourbon-peach marinade, complemented by fresh peach slices and a flavorful sear. The salmon is first marinated, then seared on the stovetop before being finished in the oven, resulting in a perfectly cooked and delightful dish bursting with summer flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Marinade

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

Salmon

  • 4 salmon filets, about 1½ pounds, skins on
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium peaches, pitted, thinly sliced
  • parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, mix together peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined. Set aside half of the marinade (about ¾ cup) in the refrigerator for later use.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the remaining half of the marinade. Seal the bag and gently massage it to coat the salmon evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  3. Preheat the Oven: When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Sear the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a medium, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated salmon fillets skin side up into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the fillets develop a beautiful golden brown sear.
  5. Flip and Add Peaches: Flip the salmon so the skin side is down. Add the thinly sliced peaches around the salmon in the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the peaches to soften slightly and the salmon skin to crisp.
  6. Add Reserved Marinade: Remove the skillet from heat and pour the reserved peach marinade evenly over the salmon and peaches to enhance flavor and moisture.
  7. Roast in Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes. Continue baking until the salmon is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish the dish with fresh parsley. Serve the roasted bourbon peach salmon immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Marinate the salmon for up to 1 hour for maximum flavor infusion, but do not exceed as the acidity may start to cook the fish.
  • If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, sear the salmon in a regular pan and transfer to a baking dish before roasting.
  • Use fresh peaches for the best taste, but frozen sliced peaches can be a substitute in off-season.
  • Check salmon doneness with a thermometer to avoid overcooking; salmon continues to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes to ½ teaspoon according to your taste preference.
