Ingredients:
1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cut low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped green onions
3 tablespoons chopped chives
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
Cooking spray

Directions:
Prep Time: 1 hour, 35 minutes
Cooking time: 12 minutes

Combine first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag, and add salmon to bag.  Seal and marinate in refrigerator 1-1/2 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Prepare grill or broiler.

Remove salmon from bag, reserving marinade.  Place salmon on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray.  Cook 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting frequently with reserved marinade

The marinade/basting sauce for the salmon fillets is a study in contrasts: bright citrus and sweet, smoky bourbon.
