Start by making the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, and garlic. Place the salmon in the marinade – making sure it is fully submerged – then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 90 minutes or more.
After the salmon is marinated, place on a greased baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
While the salmon is baking, work on the glaze. Take the left over marinate in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make a corn starch slurry with an equal amount of water, and add the slurry to the marinade. Bring the mixture up to a boil, then reduce heat. Stir until the glaze has thickened then remove from the heat.
Once the salmon is done, brush the glaze onto the cooked salmon and serve.
