Broiled Salmon is one of the healthiest and best tasting dishes when prepared properly. It's easy to fix, but the timing has to be perfect. Here's how I do it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Butter
Salt and pepper or
Lemon pepper

Step 1

Cut large fish fillets into serving sized pieces. Sprinkle both sides of fish with lemon pepper or salt and pepper and place skin side up on the broiler pan.
Step 2

Brush the fish with a tablespoon of melted margarine and set oven control to broil or 550 degrees.
Step 3

Broil with the top 3 inches from the heat for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Step 4

Brush fish with another tablespoon of butter, turn, and brush the other side with a tablespoon of butter.
Step 5

Broil another 5-8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately.

Tips & Warnings

Another tasty way to prepare the salmon is to substitute 1/4 cup Italian dressing for the butter and omit the salt and pepper.
Don't overcook! Stay in the kitchen and check fish frequently.
