Salmon With Jack Daniels Sauce Food

T.G.I. FRIDAY'S JACK DANIELS GRILL SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• To roast the garlic for the glaze, cut about 1/2 inch off the top of the garlic head. Cut the roots so that the garlic will sit flat. Remove most of the papery skin, but leave enough so that the cloves stay together. Place the head in a small casserole dish or baking pan, drizzle the olive oil over it, and cover it with a lid or foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove the garlic and let it cool until you can handle it.
• Combine the water, pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium/high heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture boils, then reduce heat to simmer.
• Squeeze the sides of the head of garlic until the pasty roasted garlic is squeezed out. Measure 2 tsp into the saucepan and whisk to combine. Add the remaining glaze ingredients and stir.
• Simmer for 40-50 min or until the glaze has reduced by about 1/3 and is thick and syrupy. Make sure it doesn't boil over. When the glaze is done, cover the saucepan and set it aside until the fish is ready.
• To cook the fish, preheat grill to med/high heat. Remove any skin or bones from the fillets. Brush the entire surface with a light coating of the butter spray. Lightly salt and pepper both sides and place them on the grill at a slight angle so that grill marks will be made. Cook for 2-4 minutes and turn them over. After 2-4 minutes, turn them over at a different angle so that the grill marks will criss-cross. Cook 2-4 minutes more, flip again and cook until done.
• The entire cooking time should be between 8-15 min depending on the thickness of the fillets and the heat of the grill.
• When the fillets are done, remove from grill and spoon a generous portion of glaze over each one. Serve hot.

BROWN SUGAR SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chile powder, salt and pepper. Put the salmon on the baking sheet. Evenly distribute the sugar-spice mixture over the top of the fillets.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness and desired doneness.

T.G.I. FRIDAY'S® JACK DANIELS® SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Cut about 1/2-inch from the top of the garlic head. Trim the roots so the garlic sits flat. Remove some of the outer layers of papery skin from the garlic, leaving enough so that the cloves stay together. Put garlic into a small casserole dish or baking dish, drizzle olive oil over it, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Roast garlic in preheated oven until the cloves are soft, about 1 hour.
• Stir brown sugar, pineapple juice, water, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce together in a saucepan and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and keep at simmer.
• Squeeze sides of the garlic until the pasty roasted garlic emerges. Measure 2 teaspoons roasted garlic into the saucepan and incorporate into the sauce with a whisk. Reserve remaining roasted garlic for another use.
• Stir lemon juice, white onion, bourbon whiskey, pineapple, and cayenne pepper into the sauce; bring to a simmer and cook until the volume of the liquid reduces by half and is thick and syrup-like, 40 to 50 minutes.

JACK DANIEL'S CEDAR PLANK SALMON

Steps:

• Soak cedar planks in salted water for at least 2 hours. Set grill for indirect grilling and heat to medium-high (400-450 degrees). Remove skin from salmon fillets. Remove any remaining bones. Rinse the salmon under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Generously season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Lay the salmon (on what was skin-side down) on the cedar plank and carefully spread the mustard over the top and sides. Place the brown sugar in a bowl and crumble between your fingers, then sprinkle over the mustard.
• Place the cedar plank in the center of the hot grate, away from the heat. Cover the grill and cook until cooked through, around 20 to 30 minutes. The internal temperature should read 135°F Transfer the salmon and plank to a platter and serve right off the plank, or transfer filets to a serving plate.
• SAUCE: Blend all remaining ingredients in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes. Be careful that you don't let it get too think, otherwise it will caramelize as it cools due to the brown sugar.
• Serve salmon over a bed of wilted spinach, then drizzle the sauce over the top of it.
• ALTERNATE COOKING METHOD: A direct method to grill the salmon may also be used. If this is preferred, spread the mustard and brown sugar on the salmon but do not place the fish on the plank. Set up the grill for direct grilling on medium-high. When ready to cook, place the plank on the hot grate and leave it until there is a smell of smoke, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the plank over and place the fish on top. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 135°F Check the plank occasionally. If the edges start to catch fire, mist with water, or move the plank to a cooler part of the grill.
