2/3 cup (150 ml.) Irish or Scotch whisky
2/3 cup (150 ml.) water
3 tbsp. lemon juice
3 tbsp. brown sugar
6 salmon steaks

Mix whisky, water lemon juice, and brown sugar together in a sauce pan. Add salmon steaks and poach until done, about 7-8 minutes. Remove salmon to warm plate and reduce sauce; pour sauce over salmon steaks and serve.

Variation: Use bourbon instead of Irish or Scotch for a different flavor.
