Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 slices lemon (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the fillets evenly with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Generously spread barbecue sauce over the top of each fillet using a spoon or basting brush, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
For a caramelized finish, switch to the broil setting during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon slices on the side.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
