Broiled barbecue salmon

There's something about the smell and taste of barbecue in the summer. This recipe is so easy and the salmon is delicious when paired with this barbecue sauce. The lemon juice thins the sauce out and goes so well with the salmon, while the brown sugar caramelizes the fish. This recipe comes from a wonderful cookbook called, "Food to Live By" by Myra Goodman. I would highly recommend this cookbook for anyone who loves fresh, healthy, seasonal recipes; every recipe in this book makes your mouth water just by reading the title.

1. Preheat the broiler setting on your oven to high.
2. In a bowl, whisk the following to blend:

• 1 cup of barbecue sauce, mild or spicy
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

3. Pour half of the barbecue sauce mixture into a shallow baking pan just large enough to hold 4 salmon fillets.
4. Arrange the 4 salmon fillets (6-8 oz. each) in the pan and cover with the rest of the barbecue sauce mixture.
5. Broil the salmon fillets about 4 minutes, then using a spatula, carefully turn them over.
6. Continue broiling the fillets until the sauce glazes the salmon and the interior of the fish is nearly opaque but still moist, about 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
7. Using a spatula, transfer the fillets onto the serving plates and spoon some of the sauce from the pan over the fish. Garnish with lemon slices, if you like.
