  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with foil.

  2. In a small saucepan, combine 100ml of whisky, 60ml of honey, 60ml of soy sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

  3. Place 4 salmon fillets (about 150g each) on the prepared baking tray. Brush the salmon generously with the whisky glaze.

  4. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  5. While the salmon is baking, occasionally brush it with more glaze for a rich, caramelized coating.

  6. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
