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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the fillets evenly with olive oil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.

Step 4

Generously spread barbecue sauce over the top of each fillet using a spoon or basting brush, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

For a caramelized finish, switch to the broil setting during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
