Steps:
- Place peanuts in a large resealable bag and pound into fine crumbs with a rolling pin, meat mallet, or flat side of a can. Add pepper; mix well.
- Melt butter in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, garlic, and onion powder. Bring to a boil; cook until sauce thickens and has a syrupy consistency, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool until it is still hot to the touch but not scalding, about 5 minutes.
- Cut thinner parts of salmon fillets into strips and place in a small bowl. Coat with a little bit of the sauce. Cut thicker parts of salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and place in the saucepan; stir to coat with sauce. Let sit until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a large glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place strips of salmon on one side of the baking dish and cubes on the other, making sure all pieces are coated with sauce but not overlapping. Sprinkle peanut and black pepper mixture evenly on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until strips flake easily with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the dish and continue baking until cubes flake easily with a fork, about 5 minutes more.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for this recipe. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and may contain more contaminants.
- Use a good quality bourbon. The bourbon you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the salmon nuggets. Choose a bourbon that you enjoy drinking neat, as the flavor will be concentrated when it is baked.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important not to overcook it. The salmon nuggets should be cooked through, but still moist and flaky.
- Serve the salmon nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce. Honey mustard sauce, tartar sauce, or a simple lemon-butter sauce are all good options.
Conclusion:
Baked bourbon and brown sugar salmon nuggets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The combination of bourbon, brown sugar, and spices gives the salmon a unique and flavorful crust. These salmon nuggets are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
