Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. salmon (cut into individual servings, if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce (more if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (or other oil of your choice)

Instruction

  • Arrange the top oven rack close to the top of the oven near the broiler and turn on the broiler. Spread the olive oil (1 tablespoon) on the center of a rimmed baking sheet (across enough surface area for the size of the salmon).
  • Place the salmon skin side up on a rimmed baking sheet on top of the oil. and season the skin side with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Flip over so the skin side is down. Season the top with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Brush the top of the salmon with about a third, or 2 tablespoons, of the bbq sauce (don't bother getting a measuring spoon dirty- just approximate this, and lay it on thick). Broil on high on the top oven rack (leaving the door ajar) for about 3 minutes, and brush the top with more bbq sauce. Broil for 3 more minutes, brush with bbq sauce, and again after 3-4 more minutes (for a total of 10 minutes). Continue broiling if necessary for a few more minutes until salmon is fully cooked (you can check it by seeing if it flakes apart easily with a fork or the internal temperature is 145 degrees F).
  • Serve with more bbq sauce if desired.
