How to make the already-delicious flavor of salmon even better? Give it a refreshing beverage, so to speak! Drunkin' Honey Salmon is marinated in a sweet, full-bodied, and savory bourbon sauce before it gets grilled to perfection. And then, of course, it's brushed in more of the bourbon sauce, so it becomes glazed in its smokey-honey-flavored glory. Drunkin' Honey Salmon uses a boozy brew to make the fish fantastic!
Ingredients
- 4 (6-8-ounce) fresh salmon steaks, cut 1-inch-thick, rinsed and patted dry
- 3/4 cup bourbon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- neutral-flavored oil, to taste, for greasing the grill grates
Directions
Step 1 -In a shallow baking dish or a resealable plastic bag, add the salmon steaks.
Step 2 -In a small bowl, add the bourbon, the brown sugar, the honey, the soy sauce, the ginger, and the pepper and stir to combine.
Step 3 -Pour the marinade mixture over the salmon steaks in the dish, then cover the dish tightly.
Step 4 -Transfer the baking dish to the refrigerator and let the salomn steaks marinate, while turning the steaks occasionally, for at least 1 hour.
