Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the marinade.
Brush the salmon fillets generously on both sides with the honey BBQ marinade. Reserve some of the marinade for glazing during grilling.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and brush the tops with the reserved marinade. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the grilled salmon and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finishing touch.
