Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• 1/3 cup Kinder's Honey BBQ Sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges and fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preparing the Grill

1. Fire up the grill: Preheat your Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling. Aim for medium heat, around 350°F, to cook the salmon evenly.

Preparing the Salmon

2. Season the salmon: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over each fillet.
3. Brush with Kinder's Honey BBQ Sauce: Lightly brush each salmon fillet with Kinder's Honey BBQ Sauce, ensuring an even coating.

Grilling the Salmon

4. Grill the salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the outer edge of the grill to avoid direct heat. Grill for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is ALMOST cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.  The salmon will continue cooking after you remove it from the grill so don't overcook it!
5. Baste with Kinder's Honey BBQ Sauce: During the last 2-3 minutes of grilling, generously brush the salmon with more Kinder's Honey BBQ Sauce. Continue to baste as needed to build up a rich, flavorful glaze.

Finishing Touches

6. Rest the salmon: Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Serve: Arrange the salmon fillets on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley if desired, and serve with extra Kinder's Honey BBQ Sauce on the side.

Tips

• Avoid overcooking: Salmon cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
• Sauce layering: Applying multiple layers of Kinder's Honey BBQ Sauce during the final grilling phase creates a beautifully caramelized glaze.
• Grill marks: To achieve nice grill marks, don't move the salmon fillets too frequently during grilling.

Conclusion

Grilled salmon with Kinder's Honey BBQ Sauce offers a delicious balance of sweetness and smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the tender, flaky fish. This recipe is easy to make and full of rich, satisfying flavors, making it a great choice for any meal.
