Instructions
- Prepare Salmon - Rinse the Salmon and pat dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet.

- Broil - Return the Salmon to the oven and broil for 1 -2 minutes, just until the BBQ sauce becomes bubbly and slightly caramelized. Watch carefully so it does not burn.

Notes
- Choose a BBQ sauce that you enjoy! The BBQ sauce sets the flavor for the dish, so pick one you love.
- Broiling safety - Make sure to watch closely so as not to let the fish burn.
- Wild-caught salmon - Wild-caught tends to have more nutrients and a richer flavor than farm-raised salmon.
- Don't overcook the Salmon -I like to cook my Salmon recipe to 135°F for the perfect flakiness.
- Baked uncovered - Leaving the salmon uncovered helps the BBQ sauce create the best caramelization for the glaze. Storage
- Refrigeration: Store completely cooled salmon in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheating: Salmon is best when freshly prepared, but both the microwave and even pan-frying work.
