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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Brush the salmon fillets generously on both sides with the honey BBQ marinade. Reserve some of the marinade for glazing during grilling.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.

Step 7

Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the grilled salmon and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finishing touch.
