- kosher salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons your favorite BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup water
- chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Season the salmon filets all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. Once melted, stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the maple syrup, BBQ sauce and water. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce it to a simmer. Add the salmon into the skillet. Spoon the glaze over top of the salmon every 30 seconds or so. Cook and spoon it over for about 5 minutes.
