Instructions

For Longhorn Salmon

Prepare the Bourbon Marinade and plan to marinate the salmon at least 1-2 hours before cooking. You can do this early in the day, or the night before also.
Preheat the oven and line your baking pan with aluminum foil. Place the rack on top. Spray with non stick spray. Coat a sheet pan with non stick spray.
Remove the salmon filets from the marinade. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared sheet pan.
Bake at 400° F for 10-15 minutes or until salmon is browned and opaque.
PRO TIP: You can also air fry this Longhorn Salmon recipe! Set the fillets on a lightly oiled air fryer grill. Set the temperature to 380F and the timer for 10 minutes. Air fryers cook faster than conventional ovens. Check after 8 minutes, as air fryers vary considerably. No need to turn the salmon fillets either!

Notes

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.
Keep a chunk of ginger frozen in a container. It is SO much easier to grate it frozen than fresh. It will stay fresh longer and not wither or get moldy also!
