Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Easy Salmon with Brown Sugar with Bourbon Glaze
- add review
- #11766

ingredients
6 salmon fillets
1/4 cup bourbon
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
directions
I made this recipe last night and it was terrific! I had a little problem with the heat being too high to keep the sugar from hardening when cool, but it was a minor problem, and didn't effect the recipe's taste.
Melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat, in a pan large enough to cook the salmon. Add salmon filets, cook 6 minutes. Flip salmon, Add bourbon, and finish cooking fish, approximately 6 more minutes or until opaque and flakes with a fork. Serve salmon with glaze on top- goes great with asparagus and rice!

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

I attempted this recipe and I personally did not like it. The salmon was VERY fishy tasting. If you don't like fishy taste, DO NOT DO THIS! If you don't mind it, the glaze is pretty good.
Salmon has a stronger fish flavor, but it should not be "very fishy" unless it's not fresh.

Very easy and quick - cooked on a med low temp so didn't have any troule with the sugar hardening. I used 1/2 the bourbon - my children like the sweeter taste.
