Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup peach preserves
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon coarse ground mustard
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 1½ pounds, skins on)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
  • Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well blended.
  2. Set aside half of the mixture and pour the remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag with the salmon fillets; seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  4. Heat a medium, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add one tablespoon of olive oil.
  5. Place the salmon fillets skin side up in the hot skillet and sear for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Flip the fillets skin side down, scatter the sliced peaches around, and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
  7. Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon and peaches.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes until the salmon reaches 145°F.
  9. Serve immediately with warm peaches alongside the salmon.

Notes

For extra flavor, try marinating the salmon for 1–2 hours. Searing the fish before baking adds texture. You can substitute peaches with seasonal fruits like apricots or plums for a different twist.
