Brown Sugar Bourbon Glaze

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Salmon

Slice each salmon fillet down the middle lengthwise to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season both sides with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2: Make the Stuffing

In a bowl, mix together: cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, and Cajun seasoning. Stuff each salmon fillet generously with the mixture.

Step 3: Make the Brown Sugar Bourbon Glaze

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, bourbon, butter, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic. Simmer for about 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.

Step 4: Cook the Salmon

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for about 3–4 minutes per side until nicely browned. Brush generously with the bourbon glaze while cooking.

Bake at 400°F for 5-10 minutes to complete cooking.

Step 5: Finish & Serve

Drizzle extra glaze over the salmon and garnish with parsley if desired.

Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, Cajun rice, or mac & cheese. This gives sweet, smoky, buttery, creamy, and savory all in one bite.
