Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz/170 g each)
Fruits:
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
Sauces and Seasonings:
- ¼ cup (60 ml) barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fire up the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for effortless cleanup.
- Arrange two 6-oz salmon fillets on one side of the pan, placing peach wedges alongside them for a vibrant presentation.
- Splash 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil across the salmon and peaches, ensuring every surface gets a light coating.
- Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper generously over the ingredients to enhance their natural flavors.
- Grab your favorite barbecue sauce and liberally brush ¼ cup (60 ml) over the salmon, creating a glossy, tangy glaze.
- Slide the sheet pan into the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the salmon easily flakes when tested with a fork.
- Watch for the peaches to caramelize and develop golden edges, signaling the dish is perfectly cooked and ready to serve.
Notes
- Swap salmon for any firm white fish like halibut or cod if salmon isn’t your preference.
- Fresh peaches work best, but frozen can substitute when fresh aren’t in season.
- Choose a barbecue sauce with balanced sweetness to complement the salmon’s rich flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, select a certified gluten-free barbecue sauce and verify all ingredients meet dietary requirements.
