Salmon

Bourbon Sauce

Mashed Potatoes

Seasonal Vegetables

Method

Preparing the Bourbon Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Bourbon Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly add to the boiling sauce while stirring continuously. Cook until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat.

Grilling the Salmon

  1. 3

    Season the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon on the grill skin-side down. Grill for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 5

    Glaze the Salmon

    During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the bourbon sauce over the salmon to glaze it.

Making the Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and cubed potatoes and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Preparing the Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 8

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss broccoli and sliced carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
