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 minced garlic
  
  

• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  
  

• ½ teaspoon black pepper
  
  

• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  
  

For the Salmon:

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

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  
  

• 2 medium peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
  
  

• Parsley for garnish
  
  

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside ½ of the marinade (about ¾ cup) for later use.
   
   

2. Place the salmon filets in a resealable plastic bag and pour the remaining marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
   
   

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

4. In a medium oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the salmon filets, skin side up. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
   
   

5. Flip the salmon filets over, so the skin side is down. Add the sliced peaches to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to slightly soften the peaches.
   
   

6. Pour the reserved peach marinade over the salmon and peaches.
   
   

7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
   
   

8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
