Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine peach preserves, bourbon, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well blended. Reserve half of this mixture for basting.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a large sealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over salmon, ensuring it is well coated. Seal bag or cover dish, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add marinated salmon fillets, skin-side up. Sear for 2-3 minutes until skin is golden brown and crispy.
  4. Gently flip salmon fillets skin-side down. Arrange thin peach slices around salmon in the skillet. Cook together for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). After adding peach slices, pour reserved marinade over salmon and peaches. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 12-15 minutes.
  6. Remove skillet from oven and allow salmon to rest for a couple of minutes before serving warm.
