Place salmon fillet in a 9×13 inch glass baking dish. Pour bourbon in a small bowl, add brown sugar, and stir until brown sugar dissolves. Add soy sauce, garlic, scallions, and sesame oil and stir to combine. Pour bourbon marinade over salmon. Pick up salmon with a fork to let some of the marinade run under it.
