Notes

FAQs

What can I substitute for bourbon?

If you are looking for a non-alcoholic subsitution for bourbon, you can use equal parts non-alcoholic vanilla extract. If you don't mind a slightly different flavor profile, simply leave the bourbon out (add a little water if needed) or try the same amount of pineapple juice.
 

What should we serve with glazed salmon?

Green vegetables go well with this dish. You might try roasted green beans, asparagus, or garlic roasted broccoli. For grains you might add an almond wild rice pilaf. White wine would also pair well with the meal.
