An easy method for making your own peppermint liqueur. Hot chocolate pairs wonderfully with it.

Ingredients

  1. 4 (4 ounce) fillets frozen salmon fillets
  2. salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  3. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  4. ⅓ cup bourbon
  5. 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  6. 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, or more to taste

  1. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place into the air fryer basket.
  3. Air-fry for 6 minutes, or 8 minutes if the fillets are thick.
  4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in bourbon, maple syrup, Sriracha, and salt. Continue stirring while glaze comes to boil. As soon as it boils, immediately lower heat to medium-low, and cook until glaze has thickened, about 10 minutes.

I think that looks too pale. I marinated my salmon first in the maple/bourbon glaze. I air-fried at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the filets). In the meantime, I reduced the marinade on the stove and used over cook salmon when serving.

Very Good – I wouldn’t change a thing – Well for the sauce I eyeballed everything and little extra Sriacha – I will be making this again
