Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Season the salmon fillets evenly with salt and black pepper, then drizzle with olive oil. Rub the seasoning gently into the fish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, garlic powder, and paprika to make the glaze.
Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using a brush or spoon, generously coat the salmon with the barbecue glaze, reserving a little for basting later.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, baste the fillets with more glaze, and return to the oven for an additional 4 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Optionally, switch the oven to broil for the last 1–2 minutes to caramelize the glaze further. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley (if using) and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh citrus kick.
