Bourbon Glazed Salmon Recipe

I similar bourbon, merely non whisky. I know, I know, bourbon IS whisky, merely to me there's a large difference. American bourbon is smoothen together with sweetness together with has complex flavors that I savour inwards food--warm spices, fresh herbs, toasted nuts, all kinds of fruit, vanilla, coffee, toffee, chocolate, caramel together with more. Whisky, is burn water. Though a fan of all whisky, Chef Michael Symon summed it upwardly this way, "drinking whisky should hold out a massage, non a wax!"

Symon was inwards San Francisco to utter close bourbon together with Knob Creek inwards particular, an laurels winning bourbon made inwards minor batches. It's aged inwards really deeply charred oak barrels, together with is bottled at 100 proof. It has a distinctive sweetness together with large flavor. Symon told me he similar the boldness of it, maxim it goes smashing alongside the kinds of things he likes to cook.  "It's smoky, you lot tin post away gustatory modality the age, similar you lot tin post away alongside a expert salami. It has smashing depth of flavor, similar vino together with I appreciate what goes into making it--the ix twelvemonth aging process." Bourbon matches Symon's approach to cooking, "Things I similar to laid accept fourth dimension together with patience similar charcuterie. Knob Creek is the charcuterie of the spirit world"

We talked a fleck close using Knob Creek inwards cooking, he uses it inwards spicy glazes, alongside fruit similar cherries, peaches or apples, together with says it plant as good alongside pork or seafood. According to Symon, "It has complexity. I wouldn't role it alongside halibut merely alongside salmon it holds upwardly well--paired alongside mustard or maple, difficult caramelized onions, anything sweetness together with smoky." 

Inspired past times Michael Symon, I created this really unproblematic merely luscious recipe for salmon glazed alongside bourbon, maple syrup, dark-brown saccharide together with soy sauce.
