Early this evening, I sent out this tweet:
Replies varied, but for the most part people seemed to think that the combination had potential!
I remember seeing barbeque salmon on menus at various restaurants over the years, but I never ordered it or tried making it myself. Tonight I figured why not give it a go?
The verdict?
Delicious!

And now it’s time to unpack my bag from this weekend before settling down to watch The Sing Off with Ryan.
In case you’re an a cappella fanatic like me and are watching this season of The Sing Off, I’m loving The YellowJackets and Pentatonix and Ryan is all about Pentatonix. How cool was their rendition of “Video Killed the Radio Star” last week!? You better believe their version of that song will be on my next workout playlist.
Hoping for some good performances tonight!

I don’t know if it’s because I’m a crazy salmon lover, but I think salmon goes with sooo many sauces and marinades! I particularly think bbq-y, or mustard-y ones are the best too. 🙂
Pentatonix is the boss. I did not think BBQ sauce would work but it does look yummy!!
Thanks for reminding me about the Sing Off! I ALWAYS forget!
Also, I am starting American Wife tonight. Just downloaded it for my Nook! 🙂
I never hear of the Sing Off except for your posts, is it like an American Idol for glee clubs? That Pentatonix group is really good, I just listened to their Video Killed the Radio Star! Thanks for sharing!
Yay, you made it! Broiling is definitely the key to that nice caramelization on top!
I don’t have cable at all, but will definitely be watching the Sing Off tomorrow on Hulu!!
I love love love pentatonix and I also like all the college groups. This show is beyond awesome lol
As a general rule, BBQ sauce on anything rules!
That sounds likes a great combination. I think that BBQ sauce on a lot of other fish would just overpower it, but salmon is so hearty and meaty that it would stand up to the flavor. Looks delicious! And you can’t beat an 8 minute cook time!
I ordered BBQ salmon when I went out to eat at Fleming’s this weekend. So good!
You have to try salmon baked with fresh squeezed orange juice, and brown sugar. Broil it at the end with a bit more brown sugar and it gets a bit of a crunch! So good!
I’m convinced you can put BBQ sauce on just about anything and it’ll come out delicious, so sure- why not salmon. 😉
Yay Yellowjackets! I’m sooooo excited you like them!
That may get me to eat salmon! Oh! Straight no Chaser is performing in Boston sometime this fall!
Julie if you haven’t already you should really try tuna and bbq sauce! Just take the tuna from the can and mix in the bbq sauce (I like walden farms’–no cals and actually tastes relatively good surprisingly…) and then either throw it in a pan or microwave and it tastes amazing! Just like pulled pork except a lot healthier for ya!
I used to do this in middle school! I wasn’t much of a mayo fan back then so I’d mix my tuna with BBQ and relish. My friends thought I was nuts until they tried it and loved it, too!
I have a salmon filet in the fridge to make this week; I might have to give this a try!
What a great recipe! My boyfriend absolutely hates seafood, but I think I may be able to con him into trying salmon if it’s smothered in bbq sauce! Thanks for the great idea!
This is actually my preferred way of eating salmon – with BBQ sauce! Add orange zest, orange juice and some red onion and you have got an excellent salmon dish.
Watching the Sing Off as we speak! I love Pentatonix. They’re my favorite by far.
I like how the bottom two groups are going to go head-to-head with the same song tonight. Should be interesting to hear how each interprets the song!
bbq is one of my favorite salmon preparations!!
i am so far behind on the sing off.. need to catch up soon!
This sounds soo good! Could definetly go for some of that 🙂
Gotta love fast, yummy dinners!!! Looks delicious, Julie!
my husband had to rewind and watch that video killed the radio star dance 4 times. by the time his marathon tivo rewind session was over i thought i could do the dance.
in my dreams.
I love the BBQ+ salmon combo. I recently found a blueberry bbq sauce that is AMAZING on broiled salmon 🙂
oooh i’m intrigued!
Yummm I knew it would be a great combo! I love cooking salmon for dinner. It’s so easy, so delicious, and so healthy!
Yum, bbq on salmon! I have never tried this but definitely will now! Thanks for sharing!
I think bbq sauce goes well on almost anything. 😉
I’m loving The Sing-Off right now! My favorites are Delilah and Pentatonix – really hoping to see them face off in the finale!
I’m not a big BBQ sauce fan, but this recipe seems easy and yummy enough to give it a shot. It’s awesome when 2 seemingly disparate ingredients turn out to make a great meal!
YUM!
Have you ever seen the movie “Dennis The Menace”? The salmon looks just like when Dennis shoots paint in Mr. Wilson’s chicken. Hence the funniest line of the movie- he takes a bite and says “Tastes like paint…and wood!” Makes me laugh every time. I’m sure yours is tasty though! 😉
I’ve never tried barbeque salmon before but may have to after this, looks great! Another bbq combo that sounds gross but is quite good is barbeque tofu.
That actually sounds pretty tasty. Salmon absorbs such wonderful flavors!
i loveeeeeee salmon!! its one of my favorite foods! i like to brush a equal mixture of honey and soy sauce on it! so yummy!!!
I went to a 5 week music program at Northwestern the summer before my senior year of HS with one of the guys in Pentatonix! We were friends.
no way! which guy??
Kevin Olusola
no way!!! ryan and i seriously spent like half an hour last week watching his videos on youtube. he’s our favorite! so amazing!
BBQ salmon is the jam! Living on the west coast means that I get my share of fresh salmon. Salmon sashimi with wasabee and ginger is my absolute favorite!
I’m a big fan of bbq salmon!! If I could only get myself to like cauliflower…
Sounds tasty!!
It is ALL about VocalPoint–that is fo sho’!! 😉
Salmon is one of my favourite foods in the whole world – and would you believe I’ve never tried it with BBQ sauce? Definitely going to have to change that now, it looks delicious!
Teriyaki salmon is my favorite kind but bbq is next on the list-SO good!
Looks amazing ! I never thought to try with BBQ sauce before but will certainly be doing so now! 🙂
BBQ salmon should totally work!! I LOVE salmon teriyaki most of all – the thing I’ve learned with it though is to CHOOSE between saucing your protein and saucing your meat (which you were obv smart enough to do!). I used to always try to do both and was always super grossed out by the result – waaaay to salty and saucy. Plain roasted veggies and sauced up protein is the perfect combo!
Nay – just doenslt sound good
ohhh anything with BBQ sauce gets my vote!!! Great suggestion! (I use BBQ instead of ketchup for anything – fries, meatloaf, chicken tenders)
Oh, I LOVE BBQ salmon. The Cheesecake Factory has a version that is out of this world.
I LOVE a cappella! My mom sings in an a cappella quartet and I used to love going to the competitions.
I should probably be watching the Sing Off!
Since I also love salmon I will now have to try it with BBQ Sauce as you suggested. I also will have to start trying to roast veggies b/c you seem to do it and it looks fabulous! Also wanted to let you know I tried your recipe for the Soy Glazed Salmon & let me tell ya that is FANTASTIC! My favorite. I actually sometimes put some of the extra marinade over rice. I know weird right??!! But delish thanx! 🙂
Your salmon dinners ALWAYS make me end up craving salmon. Without fail.
I just made BBQ salmon last week. So simple, and it was delicious!
Salmon cooking Q for you…
Do you leave the skin on when broiling it?
And do you only broil for 8 minutes on one side? No flipping?
yes and yes!
One of my best friend’s brothers is in The Yellow Jackets – Danny, the tall cute one! It’s cool watching when I know someone. I’m digging them, Pentatonix, and Delilah. So fun!
The Sing Off was AWESOME last night! I especially loved Pentatonix and Delilah. The Yellow Jackets were lucky they were saved because they didn’t do their best. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next week!
I am loving Pentatonix as well! I LOVED their rendition of Video Killed the Radio Star! I like the Dartmouth Aires too. Haven’t watched last night’s show yet so I hope neither of them went home!!
