Servings: 2 servings
INGREDIENTS
2 wild salmon fillets
The Marinade:
4 tbsp. brown sugar
4 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp. good-quality bourbon
1 clove garlic, minced
The Sauce:
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch, mixed with
3 tsp. hot water, to dissolve
1 tsp. good-quality bourbon whiskey
1 tbsp. butter
2 tsp. brown sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
In a plastic zipper bag, combine marinade ingredients and add salmon fillets. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 4 hours.
While grill is heating up, combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk together over medium heat until mixture thickens. Set aside.
When ready to cook, discard marinade. Grill salmon fillets until fish flakes easily with a fork; times depend on the thickness of the fish. Serve grilled salmon topped with sauce.
CHEF COMMENTS
I created this recipe myself; please use a good whiskey, like Maker's Mark, etc. And I really do recommend using wild salmon.

I loved this recipe! We didn't have time to marinate for 4 hours so instead I put the marinade in tin-foil with the salmon and grilled it on med on the grill for about 30 minutes until it was flakey. Then I put the sauce on once it was on our plates. So-ooo good!
