Method

For the Bourbon Glaze

  1. 1

    Prepare the glaze

    In a small saucepan, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat to low and let the glaze simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly.

For the Salmon

  1. 2

    Prepare the salmon

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Once the grill is hot, place the salmon skin-side down and grill for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon, and brush the glaze on the cooked side. Grill for an additional 4-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

For the Sautéed Broccolini

  1. 3

    Sauté the broccolini

    While the salmon is grilling, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccolini and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drizzle with truffle oil, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and top with grated parmesan cheese. Toss to combine and remove from heat.

For the Sri Lankan Basmati Rice

  1. 4

    Cook the rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the Basmati rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
