Honey Barbecue Wild Salmon

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce
Wild-Caught Salmon

Restful Cooking:
Decide if you are going to do this on the outdoor grill (preferred) or in the oven.

Pre-heat grill or oven (425)
Layer 2-3 pieces of foil large enough to hold the salmon, place salmon on foil skin side down.

Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon from Costco.

Drizzle with Barbecue Sauce & Honey

Turn up the sides of the doubled aluminum foil & put on pre-heated grill.  Close the lid for the first 10 min.


REST for those 10 min or play outside with the kids


Let them run.

Enjoy the evening while making dinner.

Almost done.
Leave the grill open for about 10 more minutes until the salmon flakes with a fork.
We're roasting beets and sweet potato fries in the background.

I use an Epicurean cutting board to remove these foil sheets from the grill.
They are heat resistant and double as a hot mat.

Half honey & half barbecue sauce for dipping.  My, do we love dipping.

Dinner's served!

The Verdict

"Ahh coo  Mommy." (Translated: Thank you, Mommy.)

"Mommy, why did you have to make Salmon I just really really don't like salmon."
"Naomi, you didn't even taste it yet."



We generally buy a pound of salmon and it takes about 20 min to cook. The grill is my favorite way to cook it. You get that nice grill taste and the house doesn't smell like fish. When you are done, just throw out the foil, and you're done.

If you are in the Delaware County Area, the BEST salmon is from Green Dean Choice Foods
18 East Baltimore Avenue, Clifton Heights, PA (610) 259-2909 ‎Ask Dean what is fresh when you go, he is always on point with the freshest seafood and carries Bell & Evans Chicken. My favorite chicken and seafood place. Hands down.

A big box alternative for where we now live is Costco.  The wild is a few dollars more a pound, but well worth it.  Picturing the salmon in the ocean is a much better picture for me than farm raised.
