Ingredients
  

  • 4 Atlantic salmon fillets (approximately 6.5 ounces each)
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, pitted and finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches, bourbon whiskey, and maple syrup.
  • Simmer the peach mixture for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the liquid reduces by half and peaches soften into a thick glaze.
  • Remove the glaze from heat and whisk in the Dijon mustard and smoked paprika until well incorporated.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
  • Generously spoon the bourbon peach glaze over the top surface of each fillet.
  • Roast the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately.
