# Ingredients:

→ Marinade

01 - ¾ cup peach preserves
02 - ¼ cup bourbon
03 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
04 - 2 teaspoons soy sauce
05 - 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
06 - 2 teaspoons Dijon coarse ground mustard
07 - 2 teaspoons minced garlic
08 - 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
09 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
10 - ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

→ Main Ingredients

11 - 4 salmon fillets (about 1½ pounds), skin on
12 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
13 - 2 medium peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
14 - Fresh parsley for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside half of the mixture (about ¾ cup) and refrigerate it for later use.
02 - Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour in the remaining half of the marinade. Seal the bag and mix well to coat the salmon. Refrigerate and let marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
03 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat oil in a medium, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
04 - Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side up. Cook for 2-3 minutes until seared and golden brown.
05 - Flip salmon fillets skin side down. Add sliced peaches to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, allowing peaches to soften and salmon skin to sear.
06 - Remove skillet from heat. Pour the reserved peach marinade over the salmon and peaches, distributing evenly.
07 - Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes (check at 12), or until salmon reaches internal temperature of 145°F.
08 - Remove from oven and serve immediately while hot.

# Notes:

01 - This dish combines the sweetness of peaches with the warmth of bourbon for a sophisticated twist on roasted salmon
02 - The marinade caramelizes during cooking to form a delicious glaze
