Equipment
  • baking dish
  • Skillet or grill pan
Ingredients
  
  • 2-4 salmon fillets skinless and clean
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp chives
  • 1 cup bourbon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • Dash of ground black pepper
  • Dash of salt
  • Pinch of garlic powder
Instructions
 
  • Prepare the salmon marinade. Combine the pineapple juice, bourbon, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a bowl and mix until the sugar dissolves.
    Then stir in some salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
  • Set the salmon fillet in a baking dish and pour over the marinade. Turn over the salmon fillets a few times to ensure each side is generously coated in the bourbon marinade.
    Store the marinating fillets in the fridge for about 2 hours so that they can soak all the flavors of the marinade.
    Pro tip: salmon doesn't need too long to marinate or it will turn mushy. So don’t leave it for longer than 2 hours—don’t even dare to do it overnight.
    Note: during these 2 hours, you can prepare some sides and have everything ready at the same time.
  • Take a grill pan or a frying pan and add some olive oil. Heat to medium heat.
    Start cooking the salmon fillets, but make sure to brush each side with the rest of the marinade. It takes about 5-7 minutes per side to cook the salmon.
    If you have a food thermometer you can cook the salmon until it reaches 125 °F.
  • Take the LongHorn Salmon off the stove and serve with some rice or veggies you’ve prepared while the salmon’s been marinating. Enjoy!
