Looking for a quick, healthy, and incredibly flavorful dinner option? Look no further than Simple and Easy Broiled Salmon! This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights when you want a nutritious meal on the table in under 20 minutes.
Broiling salmon is a fantastic cooking method. It creates a beautifully caramelized crust on the outside while keeping the inside moist and tender. This recipe emphasizes simplicity. We use minimal ingredients to highlight the salmon’s natural flavor.
This recipe typically requires only a few ingredients: fresh salmon fillets, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices such as paprika, dill, or onion powder.
To broil the salmon, preheat your broiler and position the rack a few inches below the heating element. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if using skin-on salmon. Brush with olive oil, drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with your chosen seasonings.
Broil for about 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon fillets, so keep a close eye on them.
Serve your Simple and Easy Broiled Salmon with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal. It’s a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential nutrients. This makes it a healthy and delicious choice for the whole family. Enjoy!
