  • ¼ Cup Brown Sugar Packed
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • ½ Tablespoon Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Bourbon
  • ½ Tablespoon Salt

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan ( or other baking sheet with a rim ) with foil.
  • Mix all ingredients up to the salmon in a small bowl to form a paste.
  • Place the salmon on the foil-lined pan, and spread the paste on top of the salmon.

  • Baste the salmon with the now-liquid paste that melted off during the cooking process.

  • Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
