Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • Olive oil

Preparation

Making the Bourbon Glaze

In a small saucepan, combine bourbon, honey, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until the mixture reduces by half and becomes syrupy, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Cooking the Salmon

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet with a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Brush the bourbon glaze over the fillets and transfer to the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.

Preparing the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Boil the chopped potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter, minced garlic, and milk. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steaming the Broccoli

While the potatoes cook, steam the broccoli florets until bright green and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt if desired.

Serving Suggestions

Plate the bourbon glazed salmon alongside a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor and presentation. This meal pairs well with a crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon.
