For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the brown sugar mixture. If the glaze becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of water to thin it out. Serve this dish with roasted asparagus and quinoa for a complete and balanced meal. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the cooked salmon adds a bright, citrusy note that complements the richness of the glaze. Use a good quality bourbon for the best flavor.
