# Instructions:
01 -
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add diced peaches and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and juices are released.
02 -
Stir in minced garlic and freshly grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until aromatic. Pour in bourbon carefully and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce alcohol.
03 -
Add brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes if desired. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until glaze is thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 -
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 4 to 6 minutes until the skin is crisp and the fish is halfway cooked.
05 -
Carefully turn salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until cooked through and flaking easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 63°C.
06 -
Spoon bourbon peach glaze generously over each fillet. Allow glaze to heat for 1 minute to slightly caramelize. Remove salmon from skillet and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, peach slices, and thinly sliced green onions.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, use salmon fillets of similar thickness for even cooking and choose ripe, in-season peaches for optimal flavor.
