Ingredients
 
 

For the Beurre Blanc

  • 120 mL ½ cup whisky
  • 60 mL ¼ cup pineapple juice
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 Tablespoon shallots or onions finely minced
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter cut in cubes and cold
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Salmon

  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground dry mustard
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 salmon fillets skinned, 4 ounces each

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a small saucepan, combine whiskey, pineapple juice, vinegar, paprika, garlic, and shallots or onions over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce until thickened and liquid is mostly evaporated. Stir in honey, tomato paste, and Worcestershire. Remove from heat and set aside until almost ready to serve.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, and spices for the salmon. Rub on the top side of the salmon fillets. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with baking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large pan, heat the oil until it is very hot. Sear the salmon, rub side down until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to lined baking sheet with the browned side up. Once all of the fillets are seared, bake until the fillets flake easily and the salmon is done, bout 10 minutes.
  • Briefly reheat the beurre blanc sauce until hot but not boiling and then remove from heat. Stir in the cubed butter until melted. Spoon sauce on plate and place fillet on top. You can also spoon over the fillets.

Notes

Serve with creamy rice and roasted asparagus for a delicious meal!
