Ingredients for Alaskan Bbq Salmon

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Liquid Smoke Flavoring
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Salmon Fillets

How to Make Alaskan Bbq Salmon

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat. Clean the grates thoroughly.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar.
  3. Gently brush one side of the salmon fillet (about 1 pound) with half of the basting sauce.
  4. Place the salmon on the preheated grill, basted side down. Grill for 7 minutes.
  5. Generously baste the top of the salmon with the remaining sauce and carefully flip it over.
  6. Grill for another 8 minutes. Brush the top with a little more sauce, flip, and cook for a final 2 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove the salmon from the grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
