HICKORY BOURBON SALMON

Serves 2 2 (8 oz) salmon fillets 2 teaspoons chopped chives 1 cup bourbon 1/4 cup pineapple juice 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 cup olive oil Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add the oil. Remove any skin on salmon fillets. Put fillets in baking dish and pour marinade over and let sit in the fridge for one hour or longer. The longer it can sit the more the marinade seeps into the fillets. Now you can put this on the grill or cook it on the stove top on medium heat. 5-7 minutes per side or until the fillet is cooked to your desire. Brush the marinade over the fillets as they are cooking. Arrange the fillets on a plate and sprinkle with the chopped chives  For more great recipes be sure to follow me here https://www.facebook.com/marcine.jenis1 ( っ◕‿◕ ) っ
