Broiling salmon is super easy, there are just a few steps and the spices you like and you're done.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Salmon steak
  • Tin Foil
  • Cookie sheet or broil pan
  • 1.5 tablespoons of Olive Oil per salmon steak
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh or bottled lemon juice per salmon steak
  • Sea Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste (you can use regular table salt and pepper as well)
  • Basting brush
  • other seasonings at your discretion

Step1
The general rule of thumb for salmon steaks is to always keep the salmon at least 4 inches from the heat at all times and to cook it 10 minutes per each inch of thickness of the steak. If your salmon steak is 3 inches thick at the largest point, it needs to cook for 30 minutes.
Step2
Preheat broiler for 10 minutes.
Step3
Place tin foil onto cookie sheet.
Step4
Place salmon steaks on tin foil covered cookie sheet.
Step5
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl until well blended.
Step6
Lightly brush mixture onto BOTH sides salmon steaks. This insures that the salmon won't stick to the tin foil.
Step7
Once oven is pre heated, place salmon steaks in oven.
Step8
Figure your cooking time per step 1. Salmon should be flaky when done.

Tips & Warnings

  • Consuming raw foods, especially seafood, can make you violently ill. Make sure your food is cooked thoroughly before eating.
