Whiskey and Sweet Tea Glazed Salmon

Chef notes

My favorite memories of visiting my grandparents in Mississippi are the simplest ones. Many of them are about just being still, like people-watching on the front porch with a glass of sweet tea. The grown-ups may have added a splash of whiskey — the caramel notes in the liquor complement the black tea flavor. When you long for simpler days, this salmon, glazed with a reduction of whiskey and citrusy sweet tea, does the trick.

Technique tip: Using the oven to both bake and broil gets you the perfect textured salmon — slightly crispy on the top and the glaze intensifies and buttery tender on the inside.
