I know barbecue sauce and salmon might be an unusual combo, but trust me, this recipe is absolutely perfect!

Last summer we grabbed some stuff for the grill from a local grocery chain, Lunds and Byerly's. One of the things we bought were some barbecue maple salmon kabobs. We threw them on the grill and they were absolutely amazing. 

A few days later, I made a copycat of their sauce, tried it with some baked salmon and now it's become a new family favorite!

The sweet and savory barbecue sauce is a perfect pair with the salmon. It's super simple to prep and bake and in less than 30 minutes, you can have a delicious homemade meal.

I've shared or made this recipe with some friends and family, and it was a hit with them too.
