There are only a handful of ingredients in this baked salmon recipe and you probably already have them all in your pantry. The combination of brown sugar and chili powder keeps makes this BBQ salmon sweet and spicy.

Rimmed Baking Sheet– another kitchen staple! You’ll use this for prep work, roasting and much more. I have 7 at my house.
Basting Brush – used to love the silicone kind because they were so much easier to clean, but I find some sauces just fall off of them, so I’m back to using the old kind and waiting a day or two for them to dry.
