Ingredients

Marinade

  • ¾ cup (240 g) peach preserves
  • ¼ cup (56 g) bourbon
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon coarse ground mustard
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Salmon

  • 4 salmon filets, about 1½ pounds, skins on
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium peaches, pitted, thinly sliced
  • parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. This mixture will yield about 1½ cups of marinade. Set aside half of the marinade (approximately ¾ cup) in the refrigerator for later use.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets into a resealable plastic bag and pour in the remaining half of the marinade. Seal the bag tightly and gently massage to coat the salmon evenly. Refrigerate the salmon and allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour to absorb the flavors.
  3. Preheat the Oven: When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting the salmon after searing.
  4. Sear the Salmon: Heat a medium oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated salmon fillets, skin side up, into the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes until the fillets are golden brown.
  5. Flip and Add Peaches: Turn the salmon fillets skin side down in the skillet. Add the thinly sliced peaches around the salmon. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the peaches to soften slightly and the salmon skin to sear and crisp.
  6. Add Reserved Marinade: Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the reserved peach marinade evenly over the salmon and peaches, ensuring the flavors meld during baking.
  7. Roast in the Oven: Transfer the skillet directly to the preheated 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) to be fully cooked and flaky.
  8. Serve: Once cooked through, remove the skillet from the oven. Garnish the roasted salmon and peaches with fresh parsley and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Marinating the salmon enhances flavor but do not exceed 1 hour to prevent texture changes.
  • The peach preserves provide natural sweetness; adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer salmon and peaches to a baking dish before roasting.
  • Check internal salmon temperature with a meat thermometer for perfect doneness.
  • Fresh peaches can be substituted with canned peach slices if fresh are not in season.
