Ingredients
Marinade:
- ¾ cup peach preserves
- ¼ cup bourbon substitute try 3 tbsp apple juice + 1 tsp vanilla + 1 tsp cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons coarse ground Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salmon:
- 4 salmon filets about 1 ½ pounds, skin on
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium peaches pitted and thinly sliced
- Fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix peach preserves, bourbon (or non-alcoholic option), olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside half of the marinade (about ¾ cup) for later use.
- Place salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the remaining marinade. Seal the bag and coat the salmon well. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side up. Sear for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the salmon fillets, skin side down. Add sliced peaches to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to soften the peaches and sear the salmon skin slightly.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Pour the reserved peach marinade over the salmon and peaches.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes (check at 12 minutes) until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Once cooked, serve the roasted peach and salmon dish immediately, garnished with parsley.
