Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 12 pieces bacon strips
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (optional for garnish) chopped parsley
- 4 pieces (optional for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Lightly brush each salmon fillet with olive oil and season evenly with garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Sprinkle a light layer of brown sugar over the top of each seasoned salmon fillet. This will help caramelize the bacon during cooking.
Wrap each salmon fillet with 3 strips of bacon, slightly overlapping each strip to ensure complete coverage. Secure the ends underneath the fillet to keep the bacon in place.
Place the wrapped salmon fillets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top of each bacon-wrapped fillet generously with BBQ sauce, reserving a small amount of sauce for later.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
For an extra crisp bacon finish, switch to the broil setting for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close watch to avoid burning the bacon.
Remove the salmon from the oven and brush lightly with the reserved BBQ sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
