Instructions
Season and Sear
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear fillets skin-side down for 2 minutes.
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), 1 tbsp olive oil
Prepare the Glaze
Add sliced peaches to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes until edges are golden.
Pour in bourbon, honey, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 minutes until the mixture thickens to a silky consistency.
2 peaches, sliced, 0.25 cup bourbon, 2 tbsp honey
Roast Salmon
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place seared salmon skin-side down on a baking sheet, brush generously with the peach-bourbon glaze, and roast for 12–15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Rest and Serve
Let salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
Notes
Simmer the glaze for the full 8 minutes to achieve a clingy, glossy coating that won’t run off.Resting the salmon keeps it tender and juicy; slice only after that brief pause.
