• 1 tsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

• 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Prepare the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together:

Pat salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Place salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4–5 minutes until the skin crisps.

Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes.

4. Add the Maple Glaze

Brush the Jalapeño Bourbon Maple glaze generously over the salmon.

Let it simmer in the pan for 1–2 minutes until it thickens and lightly caramelizes.

5. Serve

Transfer to a plate and drizzle with extra glaze from the pan. Garnish with sliced jalapeños or green onions.

Serve with:

• Roasted vegetables

• Wild rice

• Grilled asparagus

• Fresh spring salad
