Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

2 ripe peaches, diced

1/4 cup bourbon-flavored barbecue sauce (alcohol-free)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil or mint leaves, for garnish

Optional: lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches, barbecue sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

      Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.

        Spoon the peach and barbecue sauce mixture generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.

          Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets and peach mixture. This will help to keep the salmon moist and enhance the flavor.

            Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

              For an extra touch, switch on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to caramelize the peach topping slightly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

                Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before plating.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the salmon on a plate, garnishing with fresh basil or mint leaves for a pop of color. Add lemon wedges on the side for an optional zesty kick.
