This Jerk Salmon with Bourbon Honey Glaze pairs boldly seasoned salmon with a sweet and savory glaze made with bourbon, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and jerk seasoning.
Check the salmon for pin bones and remove any with tweezers.
Trim away the thin belly portion of the salmon so the pieces cook evenly.
Cut the salmon into portions approximately three fingers wide.
Season the salmon with jerk seasoning.
Preheat a flat-top cast-iron griddle over charcoal until it reaches about 500°F. Add the duck fat.
Add the bourbon, honey, soy sauce, ginger paste, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, honey ginger soy sauce, and jerk seasoning to a saucepan.
Whisk together and simmer over medium heat for 4–6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add a little water if the glaze becomes too thick.
Place the salmon skin-side down on the hot griddle and cook for 3–4 minutes.
Flip the salmon and cook for 2 minutes to blacken the top.
Sear each side of the salmon for about 2 minutes.
Turn the salmon back onto the skin side and brush generously with the bourbon honey glaze.
Remove from the heat and serve with asparagus or rice.
