This flaky, tender salmon recipe bakes in just 16 minutes, allowing the bourbon sauce to caramelize on the salmon while the edges brown. The result is a sweet and savory salmon that’s great served with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.

All About The Sauce

The honey bourbon sauce is made with bourbon, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. This sauce can be made a day ahead of time and refrigerated until use. Bourbon has notes of oak, vanilla, caramel, and molasses that stand out in the sauce without tasting boozy. Even if you don’t like bourbon, a bourbon sauce is worth trying. The sweet notes of bourbon and honey pair well with umami soy sauce, tangy Dijon mustard, and herby garlic powder. This sauce would also be great on grilled shrimp.
