Ingredients

For the Marinade:

• ¾ cup peach preserves

• ¼ cup 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 fillets (about 1½ pounds), skin on

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 2 medium peaches, pitted and thinly sliced

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

 Directions

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

2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.

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

4. Sear the Salmon: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (discard the used marinade) and sear the fillets, skin-side up, for about 2–3 minutes until golden brown.

5. Add Peaches and Remaining Marinade: Flip the salmon fillets so the skin side is down. Add 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.r

7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
