- Portion the salmon filets into pieces that are about 2-3” wide and spread about 1 Tablespoon of BBQ Sauce onto each piece of fish.

Notes
To make sure you get a tender flaky salmon every time follow these easy tips:
- Use fresh salmon or be sure to completely thaw your salmon before cooking.
- Make sure the pieces of salmon are all approximately the same size and thickness
- Use a thermometer checking the internal temp as the salmon cooks, checking thinner pieces before the thicker ones.
- If you have different sized pieces of fish, you may need to take them out of the oven at different times. The smaller/thinner pieces will cook faster. Keep your serving dish at the ready.
