Instructions:
- Prepare the BBQ curry glaze: In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, red curry paste, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Season the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the fillets generously with the BBQ curry glaze.
