Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together diced peaches, bourbon, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each fillet is coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Roast the salmon for 15 to 20 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  5. After roasting, let the salmon rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top and serve warm.
