Bourbon-Glazed Salmon

Wow, two posts in one day! So, I think I am maybe going to mainly post about food (because I love it so!!) So, tonight I made a new recipie. Bourbon-Glazed Salmon. It was yummy & easy to make. I did feel that while some bites had enough of the glaze, the thicker portions could have used more. Perhaps the recipie could be tweaked & a glazed made to serve with the Salmon as opposed to just marinate it in. I served it with a bag of spinach (yes, I just put the bag on the table and said "tada!", hey, I'm busy! :-)), and orzo. Well, enjoy!



Bourbon-Glazed Salmon

Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepp
er
2 cloves crushed garlic
8 (6-ounces each) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
non-stick cooking spray
4 teaspoons sesame seeds
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

Prep:
Combine the first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add salmon fillets. Seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning bag once.

Remove fillets from bag; discard marinade. Preheat broiler. Place fillets on broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 11 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Sprinkle each fillet with 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon onions (I must admit that I totally forgot about this part...)
