Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp brown-sugar bourbon seasoning
  • 2 lbs salmon, 2-2½-inch wide, skin-on or off
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

Oven method:(skin on or removed)

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Coat the cooking spray or lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and bbq sauce; divide in half. Brush half of the sauce over each piece of the salmon.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with remaining bbq sauce over the tops and sides of salmon.

Grill method: (skin removed)

  • Preheat grill or grill pan on medium. Sprinkle the seasoning over the salmon and coat with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine maple syrup and bbq sauce; divide in half.
  • Grill salmon 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, and until 145°F. Brush with one-half of sauce during the last minute of grill time. Serve with remaining one-half of sauce brushed over each piece.

Notes

  • If you cannot find the Brown-Sugar Bourbon Seasoning, make your own seasoning: In a small bowl mix, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp paprika, a little freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Use in place of the brown-sugar bourbon seasoning. 
  • Or just salt and pepper before brushing on the maple-barbecue sauce.
