Korina Moss: I used to like the Firecracker Salmon at Outback Steakhouse, so I attempted to recreate it. But since I like to make everything easy peasy, this one is only 5 ingredients. As always, you can add or subtract ingredients to suit your taste. The first time I made this, I didn't have peaches, so as you can tell, they're not in the photo above. But I knew it would add a lot to it, so you'll see it in the later photo when I made it a second time. I think mangos would also go well with it.
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh salmon filet (if you use frozen, thaw first)
2 TBL your favorite jar BBQ sauce
1 tsp Brown sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
peaches - I used packaged, sugar free. You can also used canned or fresh.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 500°
Put foil on baking sheet or pan
Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray
Put salmon on top
Mix bbq sauce, brown sugar and garlic. The bbq sauce I used this time is quite sweet already, so I didn't use the brown sugar. If you use a tangy bbq sauce as I've used in the past, then I suggest using some brown sugar.
Spread sauce on salmon
Drain peaches
Dot peaches on top
Bake for 8-12 minutes until salmon is at 145°. Enjoy!

This sounds like a fun variation on a favorite. We love salmon around here. Thanks for this one!
ReplyDeleteThanks! And you're welcome!
DeleteI haven't had some good salmon, for a long time,
ReplyDeleteI love salmon. I usually only have it when I'm out and I'm trying to change that.
DeleteOur favortie is steelhead trout. It's like salmon, but not as intense.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that!
DeleteDelicious!!!!!!!!!!! About time I had some salmon. Thanks Korina for this interesting recipe! Luis at ole dot travel
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Salmon with BBQ Sauce & Peaches recipe. Love simple and delicious!
ReplyDeleteCan't think of a fish we don't like. We usually eat some sort of fish every week if not more than once a week. We love thick slabs of cod baked. However, in the last several months finding any sort of cod had been almost impossible to find. Doesn't help that these fish and seafood lovers like in the middle of the country with no access to much other than the frozen variety and then that's sparse. We usually take an ice chest on doctor appointments to the bigger cities hoping to find something.
