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.
