If you really like the spice, you can always add extra chili powder but I’ve found that for those of us who don’t like things super spicy, 1/2 teaspoon adds just enough spice.

Making salmon in the oven is surprisingly easy and quick. This baked salmon cooks up in just 15 minutes! With only 5 minutes of prep, that’s dinner on the table in well under half an hour.

You can also make this BBQ salmon on the grill, by placing it on indirect heat. Don’t put it directly over the flame or it’ll burn and you’ll lose out on the delicious BBQ flavor.

I like to make this BBQ salmon during the summer when I want a quick, easy and healthy dinner. Salmon is one of my favorite types of fish to make, because I love the flavor and it has great health benefits. It’s also easy to prepare and cook.

I often serve this baked salmon with a side of summer veggies on the grill for a light dinner or serve with rice as well when I want something a bit heartier.

But you can serve this BBQ salmon with anything you’d serve BBQ chicken with too! Great for small summer cookouts when you’re tired of burgers, hot dogs and chicken!

Tools needed to make this BBQ Baked Salmon recipe:

Rimmed Baking Sheet– another kitchen staple! You’ll use this for prep work, roasting and much more. I have 7 at my house.

Basting Brush – used to love the silicone kind because they were so much easier to clean, but I find some sauces just fall off of them, so I’m back to using the old kind and waiting a day or two for them to dry.
