Description
This dish brings elegance to your dinner table without any fuss. It’s inspired by a summer trip to the South where peaches and bourbon found their way into nearly every recipe. The sweet, smoky glaze pairs beautifully with tender salmon, creating a meal that feels both comforting and a little bit fancy. Great for guests—or just when you want to treat yourself.
Ingredients
For the Salmon:
2 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin removed
Coarse salt and pepper to taste
For the Glaze:
¼ cup peach jam (homemade or store-bought)
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp bourbon
¼ tsp garlic powder
⅛ tsp chipotle powder
Instructions
Season salmon with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine peach jam, honey, bourbon, garlic powder, and chipotle powder. Heat over low until slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and sear 3–4 minutes per side, until nearly cooked through.
Brush salmon generously with the peach glaze and cook for 1–2 more minutes, letting the glaze caramelize.
Serve warm, with extra glaze if desired.
Notes
Sweet, smoky, and with a hint of southern charm—this salmon is a weeknight winner with weekend flavor.
