Oh my goshhh.
Can you guys believe it? No cheese today. What’s going on?
I mean, I did not even add parmesan to the potatoes. Although, that would be pretty stinkin’ good.
So even though this meal may be cheeseless, I still love it. IÂ guess I swapped the cheese for the bourbon today.
And bourbon on a Thursday? Yeah, it’s still a good idea.
With things being so busy lately, I have been in need of super quick cooking, hands off meals. Normally, I just make tacos, pizza or some kind of stir fry. OR my specialty…which is basically all the leftovers in the fridge mixed with whatever grain I have on hand (normally rice) and then topped with lots of cheese and baked until melted goodness. The boys think it is totally disgusting and will not even try it, but I have actually grown to really love these “throw everything in” meals. I often top them with fried eggs though, so this may be why I love them.
Last week though I actually bought fresh salmon for the first time since probably July. I just haven’t been feeling like fish as much lately, but then I had the idea for a bourbon glazed salmon and suddenly my fish aversion was gone!
The glaze just seemed so fall like, and then of course the chutney really made things perfect for November. If Thanksgiving was not all about the turkey, I would totally make this Salmon instead.
Here is the deal with this meal. It’s super simple and literally just some bourbon, soy sauce and orange juice simmered down with maple syrup. It’s not weird or unusual, just simple, quick and good.
Since I am me, I couldn’t just leave the salmon to hang out all alone, so a chutney was made. And wow, I am now a huge chutney fan. The cranberries are SO good when paired with a few fall spices and a little brown sugar. The brown sugar is a MUST, without it the cranberries taste way too tart and well, not good at all. Cranberries are one of the only fruits that I think has to have sugar added to them. Some people only need a little sugar with their cranberries and some people need A LOT. I think I am somewhere in the middle, but use a little or as much brown sugar as your taste requires.
Oh, if you want your house to smell like Thanksgiving, make this chutney. It’s the best smell.
AND it’s also the perfect meal for busy “holiday season” nights. And yes, I do consider November the start of the Holiday season. Plus, it’s actually pretty healthy.
SCORE!
Random little side note here, my windows arrive today! This means aside from the doors, the barn will be all enclosed come Monday. The doors are on their way, so soon enough the barn will all be sealed up. Things are looking more home like down there!! YEAH!
Oh, I almost forgot the potatoes. They truly are the simplest thing ever. You just need a decent amount of sea salt, a little olive oil and rosemary. Then just roast away. It’s a classic, but again, so good. I think I need to make more classics, I mean, there is a reason why they are called classics.
There is so much texture that goes along with these potatoes. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Pretty much the best thing ever.
PLUS, aren’t those tiny little potatoes the cutest? I love them!

And now that we ate so healthy today, that leaves us room for butter tomorrow, right??
This looks great…but can I just tell you how in love with your photos I am?! I look forward to looking at your photos every day 🙂
Thank you so much, Jennifer!! That means SO much! 🙂 Hope you have a great Friday!
Love that bourbon glaze for the salmon and those potatoes – I could eat the entire skillet!
Thanks Laura! The potatoes are kind of addicting..it’s the salt…and carbs. 🙂
I’m always looking for new salmon recipes that don’t mask the salmon’s natural flavors, but this looks perfect. Excited to try it out this holiday season!
Thank you, Cynthia! Hope you love it!
So as I’m scrolling through I’m going “oh my godness THAT picture… no THAT picture…. wait stop this one’s too good.” And on and on. I love how simple this salmon is– 4 major ingredients for a flavorful glaze? Pinned!
THANK YOU! I am so happy you like it!! Have a great Friday!
The salmon looks fabulous, but those potatoes…I want to eat a whole bucket full of those!
Thank you!
Salmon is just so amazing, and this glaze just sounds to-die-for! And those potatoes look so comforting! I am totally craving a bowl full!
Thanks so much! Hopping you you get a bowl full all to yourself soon! 🙂
Looks so delicious and I’m not even a salmon fan. Great job Tieghan!
Thanks Kathy! 🙂
That photo of salt raining down on the potatoes is stunning! And now I’m craving salmon and potatoes…
THANK YOU! 🙂
I have to admit, cranberry sauce is one of my favorite parts, if not my favorite part, about Thanksgiving! I haven’t tried chutney before, but it looks just as good!
You will love this chutney then!! It’s like cranberry sauce, but a little thicker.
Thanks so much and have a great Friday!
Looks delicious…beautiful colors…
Thanks you, Annie!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Love this recipe…I’m a huge chutney fan and those roasted potatoes look so good…can’t wait to try this.
Thanks Lisa! I am just getting into chutney, but I am loving it!
Oh, cool, i was thinking of some kind of chutney, and here you come! Addition of cranberry is only awesome, love them and have not been using enough. So happy there is no cheese in this too– with so many holidays coming up and such tasty food need to watch the calories 🙂 You told recently that you were in Thai food mood, but were all the recipes?! I think you are hiding them away for better times, and now are such a good times 🙂
This salmon is so beautiful, so making it!
Haha! I guess I got off my thai food kick, but thanks for reminding me. I think I may just need to make another Thai recipe soon! 🙂
Thanks Nikki!
The potatoes look absolutely wonderful
Thanks!
Oh Tieghan I really loved this post, the salmon will be happening for dinner sometime over the next week!
(And I was happy shocked when I read that this was a no-cheese one! I think I may have said this before, but I have to adapt the cheese out of most of your recipes, as I can’t eat most cheeses! So thanks so, so much for this one!)
AWE!!! Thanks so much, Rachel!
And yeah, I always think of you when posting the extra cheesy recipes. I feel so bad you have to adapt them, but I am so happy this one works for you!!! Have a great Friday Rachel! 🙂
😀 Happy Friday to you too!
And mozzarella, mozzarella is always the answer. Basically, it is cows milk cheeses that don’t like me!
