This Bourbon Peach Salmon elevates weeknight dining with its gorgeous sticky glaze that perfectly balances sweet and savory flavors. Flaky, oven-roasted salmon is brushed with a luxurious sauce made from peach preserves, bourbon, soy sauce, fresh ginger, and garlic, creating a dish that’s both sophisticated and approachable. The bourbon adds a subtle smokiness while the peach brings natural sweetness that caramelizes beautifully in the oven.
If you love this sweet and savory combination, you’ll also enjoy our Garlic Butter Salmon for another elegant seafood option with rich flavors. For more glazed protein dishes, try our Sticky Honey Garlic Pork or Easy and Juicy Huli Huli Chicken—both deliver that same beautiful balance of sweet and savory with gorgeous caramelized finishes.
