Delicious Easy Grilled Barbecued Salmon Recipe

Grilled Barbecued Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on or skinless)

• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Lemon wedges and chopped parsley (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Grill:

   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).

   • Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Salmon:

   • Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels.

   • Rub each fillet with olive oil, then season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Grill the Salmon:

   • Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down if using skin-on.

   • Grill for about 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

   • Brush barbecue sauce on the top side after flipping.

   • During the last minute of grilling, brush a second layer of BBQ sauce for extra flavor and a sticky glaze.

4. Check for Doneness:

   • The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.

   • Internal temperature should reach 145°F.

5. Serve:

   • Remove from grill, rest for 2 minutes.

   • Serve with lemon wedges, chopped parsley, and your favorite sides like grilled veggies, corn on the cob, or a summer salad.

Bonus Tip:

For added flavor, marinate the salmon in 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce for 30 minutes before grilling (optional, but tasty!).
