BBQ Pulled Salmon Sandwiches

Print Recipe

These BBQ Pulled Salmon Sandwiches are a flavorful and healthy twist on the classic pulled meat sandwich. Made with tender baked salmon tossed in tangy BBQ sauce and served on a toasted bun with slaw, they’re perfect for a quick weeknight meal or summer cookout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite variety)
  • 4 sandwich buns
  • 1 cup coleslaw (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting buns)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Remove salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then use two forks to shred the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Transfer shredded salmon to a bowl and toss with BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Optional: Melt butter in a skillet and toast sandwich buns until golden brown.
  7. Assemble the sandwiches by layering BBQ pulled salmon and coleslaw on the buns.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use skinless salmon for easier preparation.
  • Try different BBQ sauces (sweet, spicy, smoky) to change the flavor profile.
  • Add pickles or jalapeños for extra zing.
