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)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the hickory-flavored BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the glaze.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously apply the hickory glaze to the top of each fillet, making sure to coat them evenly.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 9

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.
