Salmón jugoso a la barbacoa con salsa barbacoa casera

Ingredientes

• 4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each, skin-on
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons water, to thin sauce if needed

Preparación

1. 1

   Combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.

2. 2

   Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with olive oil and season both sides with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates with a paper towel dipped in oil, using tongs.

4. 4

   Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook undisturbed for 6 to 7 minutes until the fish releases naturally from the grates.

5. 5

   Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the flesh side.

6. 6

   In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush a generous layer of homemade BBQ sauce over each fillet. Let it caramelize and bubble slightly, watching closely to prevent burning.

7. 7

   Remove salmon from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Spoon extra sauce over the top if desired and serve immediately.
