Honey Bourbon Salmon & Soulful Sides: A Flavor-Filled Night in the Kitchen

Last night, I just felt like cooking. No special occasion—just me, my skillet, and a craving for something bold and satisfying.

On the menu:

🔥 Honey Bourbon Salmon

🍚 Creamy Risotto

🥬 Garlic Sautéed Spinach

Let’s start with the star of the plate—Honey Bourbon Salmon. Pan-seared to perfection, glazed in a rich mix of sweet honey, smooth bourbon, and a kick of spice, this salmon had that perfect crispy edge and juicy, flaky center. Every bite was buttery and bold with flavor.

The creamy risotto came through with its velvety texture and delicate, cheesy depth—simple, but never basic. And to balance it all out, I sautéed fresh spinach with garlic, olive oil, and just a touch of salt until it wilted into the perfect bite of green goodness.

Together, this plate hit every note—sweet, savory, creamy, and clean.

It’s nights like this that remind me why I love being in the kitchen. Cooking isn’t just about feeding the stomach—it’s about feeding the soul.

Until next time,– Chef Ken
