Ingredients

For the 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

• 1½ teaspoons kosher salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

For the Salmon:

• 4 salmon filets (approximately 1½ pounds), skin on

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 2 medium peaches, pitted and thinly sliced

• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon filets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.

3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

4. Sear the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated salmon filets, skin side up, and sear for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Flip the filets so the skin side is down.

5. Add Peaches and Marinade: Arrange the sliced peaches around the salmon in the skillet. Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon and peaches.

6. Roast: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.

7. Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
