Irish Whiskey Salmon

Step 1

Mix together all the ingredients (except the salmon) together to make the marinade.*Make sure the honey is fully incorporated into the marinade.

Step 2

Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade to use when serving the salmon

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish or ziplock bag and pour the remainder of the marinade over the salmon. Make sure to get both sides in the marinade. *Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to one hour

Step 4

After marinating, wrap the pieces of smoked salmon on the top side of the salmon fillets. The smoked salmon does not have to go all the way around the fillet.*You want the slices of smoked salmon on the top of the fish so it can crisp up.

Step 5

Preheat oven to Broil

Step 6

Place the salmon with the marinade in a baking dish, smoked salmon side up. Brush the salmon liberally with the marinade and place the baking dish under the broiler.Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes or until it starts to get nicely browned on top. This should yield a crispy on the outside and moist on the inside salmon, just a touch underdone. If you prefer well-done salmon, reduce the broiler temp to 400 and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes longer after the initial broiling.

Step 7

Feel free to baste the salmon with the marinade in the baking dish once during the process.

Step 8

Use the reserved marinade to baste the salmon before serving.
