Easy Salmon with Barbecue Chips

I’ve baked a delicious Easy Salmon with Barbecue Chips recipe many times. With simple ingredients, just whip up a pan or two and serve it with brown rice and a fresh green salad!

Ingredients for Barbecue Chips Encrusted Salmon

• Salmon
• Butter
• Bottle of barbecue sauce

How to make chip encrusted salmon fillets

1. Line a 9×13 baking dish with foil.
2. Pour one bag (5 oz) of crushed potato chips onto the foil.
3. Combine the barbecue sauce and the melted butter (it’s okay if the butter isn’t all the way melted).
4. Dip the salmon pieces in the barbecue sauce mixture. Place the salmon on the chips. Pieces will fit tightly next to each other. Cover with the remaining crushed chips.
5. Cover the pan with foil and bake. Uncover the pan and bake some more, until the fish flakes with a fork.
6. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
