Method
- In a medium bowl, whisk together peach preserves, bourbon, 2 tablespoons olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined. This will yield approximately 1 1/2 cups of marinade.
- Set aside half of the marinade, about 3/4 cup, in a separate container and refrigerate for later use as the finishing glaze.
- Place salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the remaining marinade. Seal the bag and gently massage to coat the salmon evenly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place marinated salmon fillets skin-side up in the skillet. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip salmon fillets so skin-side is down. Add sliced peaches around the salmon. Cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, allowing peaches to soften slightly and salmon skin to sear.
- Remove skillet from heat. Pour the reserved peach marinade evenly over the salmon and peaches.
- Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes. Salmon is done when internal temperature reaches 145°F and fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For best results, use fresh peaches when in season. The marinade can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored refrigerated. Leftover salmon keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
