Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets 5 to 6 ounces each
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade
- 3 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- Pinch cayenne
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat lightly with nonstick spray.
- Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the orange marmalade, bourbon, brown sugar, and cayenne in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove the glaze from the heat, stir in the butter until melted, and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Spoon the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets.
- Roast until the glaze is lightly caramelized and the salmon reaches medium doneness, 6 to 8 minutes depending on thickness. For best results, cook wild salmon to 120°F and farmed salmon to 125°F in the thickest portion of the fillet.
- Let the salmon rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving. If desired, remove the skin before plating.
