Tips for Experienced Cooks
Experiment with different types of BBQ sauce to find the flavor profile that best suits your taste. Some sauces may add a more smoky flavor, while others might bring a sweeter or spicier kick to the salmon. Additionally, don't be afraid to play with the proportions of the marinade ingredients based on your preference or to introduce new spices that complement the dish's overall flavor.
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Step 3: Grill the Salmon
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
