Bourbon Glazed Salmon With Peanuts And Bacon - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 salmon fillet, skin removed
    1/4 cup pineapple juice
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    1/4 cup beef bouillon
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 cup Bourbon
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    cornstarch, slurry (as needed)
    2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, chopped
    5 slices smoked bacon, chopped
Preparation
    For the glaze, combine the juice, brown sugar, bouillon, pepper, bourbon and soy sauce. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn heat down to a simmer. Thicken to your desired thickness with cornstarch slurry (equal parts cold water mixed with cornstarch -- be careful, it will thicken quickly!).
    For the topping, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Add peanuts and cook until the peanuts are heated through and hot, about 1 minute.
    Grill the salmon over medium-high heat to desired doneness. (I cook 2 minutes, turn 45 degrees and cook 2 minutes more, flip the salmon and cook 2-3 minutes, rotate 45 degrees and cook 2-3 minutes more, until it flakes nicely) Baste with the glaze while you are grilling the salmon.
    Finish by topping the salmon with the bacon and peanuts.
