How to Broil Salmon

This article will tell you how to broil salmon. It is actually quite easy to do. I used to be a seafood manager for a large chain store. This recipe will be for two.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 lb. really fresh salmon (center cut)
• 1 large lemon
• butter or margerine
• White wine (what you normally drink will do, not cooking wine)
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic powder
• Basil (dried is fine)
• A broiler pan

1. First, make sure your salmon is fresh and rinsed. Let it come to just about room temp and soak it in a 1/2 cup white wine for 10 minutes. Remove from the wine and add a pinch of salt and a few shakes of pepper to taste. Shake a liberal amount of garlic powder and basil on the fish. Rub into the fish and allow to sit for about 5 minutes.
2. Turn on the broiler and allow to come to full temp. Put the fish on the broiler pan and squeeze 1 half of the lemon on it and add a pat of butter or margarine. Try not to get the lemon seeds on it.
3. Place the pan under the broiler and cook for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the broiler and cover with aluminum foil and let stand 10 minutes. This will the residual heat to continue to cook the fish.
4. Remove the foil squeeze the other half of the lemon on it and serve with your favorite sides. Good luck and happy eating.
