Quick and easy to make.
Restaurant worthy and perfect to make for a holiday.
4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each) - see Note
2 Tbls. olive oil
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. maple syrup
3 Tbls. bourbon
1/4 c. chopped walnuts
4 scallion onions, chopped
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
Salmon: Place salmon in a shallow dish.
Combine brown sugar, maple syrup and bourbon; pour over salmon. Let stand 15 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add salmon, skin side down; cook until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork (4-5 minutes). Flip salmon and fry another 4-5 minutes. Do not overcook or salmon will be dry. You can easily scrape away the skin at this point (use a metal spatula or wide knife blade), while salmon is in the pan.
Remove and cover with foil to keep warm.
Topping: If skillet is dry, add 1 t. olive oil. Add walnuts, green onions and bacon to skillet; just to heat through.
Place salmon on a serving platter, top with walnut, onion and bacon topping and serve.
