How to Make Bourbon Salmon

In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup bourbon, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Add 1.5 lbs salmon fillets (or adjust for whole salmon or steaks) to a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the bourbon mixture over the salmon, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours (or up to 48 hours for even deeper flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon.
Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives (optional).
