DIRECTIONS

Bring bourbon to a boil in a small saucepan. Continue cooking at a low boil until reduced by one-fourth. Reduce heat to low. Slowly add maple syrup to evaporated bourbon, stirring until fully incorporated. Simmer until hot. Grill salmon until desired temperature. (The USDA recommends 145°F.)
