How to Make Barbecued Salmon
- In a zip-top plastic bag, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
- Add salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs) to the bag. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
- Remove salmon fillets from the bag; discard the marinade.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Place salmon fillets in the BBQ sauce mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. You can either let them marinate for another 15-30 minutes or baste them with the sauce while grilling.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets on the grill, cover with the grill lid and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately, garnished with a lemon wedge, if desired.
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.
