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.
