Baked BBQ Salmon with Brussels Sprout Slaw
This Baked BBQ Salmon with Brussels Sprout Slaw is one of our favorite ways to serve salmon! We press a sweet and spicy dry rub on the surface of the fish, bake until crispy on the outside and buttery on the inside. We slather the salmon with homemade barbecue sauce and top with a cool, crisp Brussels sprout slaw. Serve as is, or nestle into tortillas for the perfect taco.
