How to prepare.
Perfect Broiled Salmon
Ingredients:
➤4 salmon fillets (6-8 ounces each), skinless or skin-on
➤2 tablespoons olive oil
➤Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
➤1 lemon, thinly sliced
➤Fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or thyme) for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Broiler:
➤Position your oven rack about 6 inches (15 cm) below the broiler. Preheat your broiler to high.
Prepare the Salmon:
➤Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
➤Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets, then season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Broil the Salmon:
➤Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
➤Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if they have skin.
➤Arrange lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets.
➤Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Broil for about 7-10 minutes per inch of thickness. For most salmon fillets, this should be about 3-5 minutes on each side. The salmon should flake easily with a fork and have a slightly crispy, golden top.
Serve:
➤Carefully remove the salmon from the oven.
➤Garnish the broiled salmon with fresh herbs, if desired.
➤Serve the perfect broiled salmon hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
➤Keep a close eye on the salmon while broiling to prevent overcooking. It can go from perfectly cooked to overdone quickly.
➤You can use a meat thermometer to ensure the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for doneness.
➤Experiment with different seasonings and marinades for variations in flavor. Lemon juice, garlic, and herbs work well with broiled salmon.
This broiled salmon recipe is simple and allows the natural flavors of the salmon to shine. It's a quick and healthy option for a weeknight dinner.
