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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Season the salmon fillets evenly with salt and black pepper, then drizzle with olive oil. Rub the seasoning gently into the fish.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, garlic powder, and paprika to make the glaze.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley (if using) and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh citrus kick.
