Recipe of the Week! Grilled Orange & Bourbon Salmon

So there's nothing like a grilled salmon. Really. That little crust that it gets on the top and the flavors?!? Yeah. With a recipe like this, you can't go wrong. If you don't want to break out the Bar-B just yet, use your broiler pan in the oven. Serve over a bed of rice drizzled with the marinade along with a bright spring salad. Perfect for the warmer weather coming.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Combine first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag, and add salmon to bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 1/2 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Prepare grill or broiler.

Remove salmon from bag, reserving marinade. Place salmon on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Cook 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
