Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
• 4 pieces (for garnish) lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with olive oil on all sides.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and kosher salt.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the top and sides of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the hot grill. Close the grill lid and cook for 6-8 minutes without flipping, or until the salmon is nearly cooked through and can be easily lifted with a spatula.

Step 6

Brush a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the top of each fillet. Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly caramelized and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Carefully remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Step 8

Enjoy your perfectly grilled BBQ salmon with your favorite side dishes, such as a crisp green salad or grilled vegetables!
