BOURBON-BASTED SALMON

Category: Fish and Seafood

1/2 c. bourbon
1/2 c. virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. soy sauce
Flour
3 1 inch thick salmon fillets or steaks (each about 8 oz.)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In small bowl, combine bourbon, olive oil and soy sauce and whisk until blended.

Wipe salmon with damp paper towels.

Line baking pan with aluminum foil and place salmon skin side down. Brush salmon with basting mixture and bake, uncovered, basting 2 or 3 times, until fish flakes easily when tested with tip of small knife, 15 to 20 minutes.

In small saucepan, bring remaining basting mixture to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 3 to 4 minutes.

With spatula transfer salmon fillets to dinner plates and serve basting mixture on the side.
