Description

This bacon-wrapped bourbon-marinated salmon recipe wraps salmon in bacon then grills it until crisp. This flavor-packed dish is perfect as an appetizer.

Ingredients

1/2 cup steak seasoning sauce (such as Dale's Steak Seasoning®)
1/2 cup brown sugar, divided
3 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons bourbon (such as Jim Beam®), or more to taste
1 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillet, cut into 2-inch cubes
1/2 pound bacon strips, cut in half
15 toothpicks, or as needed

Directions

1 Combine steak seasoning sauce, 6 tablespoons brown sugar, scallions, and bourbon in a large bowl. Add salmon cubes; toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator, 4 to 6 hours.
2 Remove salmon cubes from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
3 Wrap each salmon cube with 1 halved bacon strip; secure with a toothpick. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar on top.
4 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
5 Cook on the preheated grill, turning frequently, until bacon begins to crisp, about 5 minutes.
