  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Spray small rimmed baking pan with nonstick spray. Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared pan and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Transfer to oven and bake 18 to 20 minutes or until salmon is opaque throughout and internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, in small saucepot, stir together bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in butter, white pepper, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt.

  • Set broiler to HIGH and place salmon under broiler. Cook 1 minute or until glaze becomes bubbly and slightly caramelized, watching very carefully.
  • If desired, slip spatula between salmon skin and flesh to remove skin before serving. Serve salmon garnished with green onion, if desired.
