I created this for wild salmon fillets from Trader Joe's; I think the sweet citrusy sauce is to die for, yet the grilled bourbon-marinated salmon tastes great on its own, too. Use a good-quality bourbon here; I use Knob Creek or Maker's Mark. And I think the flavor is contingent on wild salmon; the farm-raised just doesn't have that flavor . Prep time includes marinating. Ingredients:
2 wild salmon fillets |
4 tablespoons brown sugar |
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
2 tablespoons good-quality bourbon |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice |
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with |
3 teaspoons hot water, to dissolve |
1 teaspoon good-quality bourbon |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
Directions:
1. In a plastic zipper bag, combine marinade ingredients and add salmon fillets.
2. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 4 hours.
3. While grill is heating up, combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk together over medium heat until mixture thickens.
4. Set aside.
5. When ready to cook, discard marinade.
6. Grill salmon fillets until fish flakes easily with a fork; times depend on the thickness of the fish.
7. Serve grilled salmon topped with sauce.
8. Mmmmmmm!
