    Ingredients

    Fresh or frozen salmon is perfectly fine. Use Alaskan Salmon, Atlantic, Pacific, or any type of salmon you personally prefer. I had a combination of Wild Keta Salmon and Alaskan King Salmon filets.

    Any type of Bourbon is perfect. I only had Knob Creek Smoked Maple Bourbon, which is probably considered alcohol abuse since it's top shelf. No shame using well grade bourbon though!

    Ingredients for making copycat Long horns Salmon.
    • Salmon filets or Salmon Steaks
    • Brown Sugar
    • Bourbon - any type you have on hand or purchase. The alcohol burns off, so if you are a non drinker, don't worry.
    • Soy sauce
    • Fresh grated ginger
    • Lime juice
    • Garlic, minced
    • Coarse black pepper
    • Sliced scallions for garnish

    Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    How to Replicate Longhorns Salmon

    Select a 6 to 8 oz piece of salmon per person. You can use frozen salmon in the freezer case, or fresh salmon in the seafood case. Often, frozen salmon can be fresher than the salmon in the fresh seafood case, simply because it is flash frozen as soon as it is caught. It tends to be less expensive also.

    Step 1. Marinate the Salmon

    Combine all the marinade ingredients into a zipper bag,or a dish that you can place a sealing lid on. Keep in the refrigerator to chill and marinate for at least 4 hours. You can set the salmon to marinate the night before also.

    Step 2. Grill or Oven Bake

    Place baking rack on a baking tray. To make clean up super easy, line the baking pan first with aluminum foil. Spray the rack with non stick spray. This will keep the salmon skin or flesh from sticking as much.

    Step 3. Transfer from Oven to Platter

    Place the tray into your 400° pre heated oven. Broil for 10-15 minutes or until salmon is browned and opaque. Remove, platter, and serve.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve this delicious salmon recipe with our version of Longhorn Rice Pilaf and Longhorn Brussels Sprouts. Both can be prepared while your Longhorns Salmon filets are baking. You can have all three on the table at the same time!

    Add on a fresh green salad and Cinnamon Stewed Pears for dessert for a delicious family meal.

    Substitutions

    You can use any firm and flaky fish if Salmon is not to your liking. Branzino or Sable fish are good alternatives.

    Equipment

    If you are making this dish in the oven, you will want a baking tray with a rack to lift the salmon filets off the surface. If you are grilling, you will want a rack on your grill that has spaces closer together. It makes lifting the salmon off the grill easier.

    • Baking pan and rack set

    Storage

    If you have leftover salmon, store it in a covered container for up to three days. You can also save it in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Tips for Success

    • Prepare your marinade and let the salmon marinate overnight for optimum flavors. Just prepare right before heading to bed.
    • Use non stick spray on your grill or baking rack. It will prevent the salmon skin or flesh from sticking.
    • Try to get pieces of similar size so they cook up about the same time.
