Ingredients

BBQ Sauce

3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 medium clove garlic, crushed into a paste

Grilled BBQ Salmon and Broccoli

1-1/2 lbs salmon, skin removed and salmon cut into 4 equal pieces
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Kosher salt and pepper to taste
1-1/2 lbs fresh broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets
Sliced green onions for topping

Instructions

BBQ Sauce

Combine all sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer 5-10 minutes until bubbly and slightly reduced, stirring occasionally.
Remove barbecue sauce from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste if needed. Set sauce aside to cool.

Grilled BBQ Salmon and Broccoli

Rub salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon oil and season all over with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, toss broccoli with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons bbq sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
When ready to grill, preheat an outdoor grill to 400F or lightly grease and heat a large nonstick pan on stovetop if you don't have a grill.
Grill salmon fillets on a sheet of nonstick foil on grill over medium-high heat or in nonstick pan on stovetop, brushing frequently with bbq sauce and turning once until salmon is golden-brown and registers 125-130F, about 6-9 minutes of cooking.
Alongside salmon, grill broccoli on a sheet of nonstick foil or in a grill basket OR in a separate large skillet with oil if cooking indoors. Toss broccoli occasionally until lightly charred and tender, about 6-9 minutes of cooking as well.
Top salmon and broccoli with a few more drizzles of bbq sauce and top with green onions. Serve warm and enjoy!
