Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup hickory-flavored BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the hickory-flavored BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously apply the hickory glaze to the top of each fillet, making sure to coat them evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
For extra caramelization, switch the oven to broil during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on the salmon to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve the Hickory Glazed Salmon with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
