Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 4 filets Salmon Use fresh filets with skin on for moistness and flavor
  • 1/2 cup Peach Preserves Can substitute with peach jam or jelly if desired
  • 1/4 cup Bourbon Enhances the flavor depth; non-alcoholic alternative can be used
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar Provides a tangy balancing note to the sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard Yellow mustard can be used as a substitute
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adjust to your spice preference
  • 2 medium Peaches Freshly sliced; choose ripe peaches and remove the pit
For Cooking

  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances the flavors throughout the dish

Equipment

  • oven-safe skillet

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
  2. Reserve half of the marinade for later. Place the salmon in a resealable bag with the remaining marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon filets skin side up for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Gently flip the filets so the skin side is down, then add sliced peaches around the salmon. Sear for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour the reserved marinade over both the salmon and peaches in the skillet.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Check for doneness at 12 minutes; the salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest. Serve warm, alongside the caramelized peaches.
