BBQ Salmon (freezer meal)

This BBQ Salmon recipe is great for summer. It’s the lightness of a salmon meal but has a rich, bold sauce. It’s so fast to make that it’s sure to become one of your new go-to recipes. When people think of freezer meals, they usually imagine casseroles, soups, and stews, but they can be so much more than that. Salmon is one of our favourites. When we do our freezer meal marathons, we usually choose two salmon recipes such as this one and our Ginger Soy Salmon, Maple Dijon Salmon, or Dill Salmon.

BBQ Salmon Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. boneless salmon fillets
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favourite kind)
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 green onion, sliced
• salt and pepper to taste

Assembly instructions:

1. Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable freezer bag.
2. Add the other ingredients and squish gently to combine.
3. Remove the excess air, seal, and freeze.

Barbecue cooking instructions:

1. Thaw. The sauce marinates the salmon as it thaws.
2. Heat barbecue to medium heat.
3. Grill fish for 6 minutes on each side on greased barbecue rack or on a cedar plant on the grill. Turn the fish occasionally. The salmon should flake easily when done.

Oven cooking instructions:

1. Thaw and the salmon will marinate in the sauce as it thaws.
2. Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet lined. Bake at 400° for about 20 minutes. The exact cooking time will vary depending on the salmon thickness. It will flake easily when done.
