Brown Sugar Bourbon Glazed Salmon
Brown Sugar Bourbon Glazed Salmon offers a glossy, caramelized finish that balances sweet and savory flavors. The glaze brings a warm, slightly smoky sweetness from the brown sugar, while bourbon adds depth along with hints of vanilla and oak. It's comfort with a bit of flair, perfect for weeknights or special dinners.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets skin-on for extra crispiness
- 60 g Brown sugar
- 30 ml Bourbon or non-alcoholic substitute
- 15 ml Soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- 10 ml Lemon juice for acidity
Instructions
- Start with fresh salmon fillets and pat them dry to help the glaze stick. Mix up your glaze and brush a light coat over the fillets, letting them sit briefly to soak up the flavor.
- Set the air fryer to a moderate-high temperature and lay the salmon in a single layer. Cook until the glaze starts to caramelize and the fish looks beautifully opaque at the edges, about 10 minutes.
- The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork. If the glaze looks underbrowned, give it a quick brush of glaze and pop it back in the air fryer for a minute.
Notes
Tip: If the glaze doesn’t stick, make sure to pat the fish dry more thoroughly before glazing.
