Ingredients
  

Salmon and Seasoning
  • 4 salmon fillets (5 ounces each)
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
Peach Bourbon Glaze
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp bourbon
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 large peach diced

Method
 

Salmon and Glaze
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Pat salmon dry and place skin-side down on the prepared sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together brown sugar, bourbon, Dijon mustard, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth. Stir in diced peach.
  4. Spoon the peach-bourbon mixture evenly over each fillet.
  5. Bake for 12–14 minutes, until salmon is opaque halfway up the fillet.
  6. Switch oven to broil and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the glaze is bubbling and lightly charred.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Dice peaches uniformly into ½-inch cubes for even roasting.
