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.
