8 Minute Broiled Salmon Recipe

Broiled salmon is perfectly done and tender and moist on the inside. It’s a great way to prepare salmon.

"8 Minute Broiled Salmon" in a baking dish.

Just when I thought I had salmon all figured out, (citrus and dill baked salmon), I found this technique for cooking salmon.  MaryJo and I had it last night and I think this will be my go-to method for cooking salmon steaks.  

This is for those nice 6 ounce fillets that are 1″ or thicker. They get marinated for about 30 minutes and then spend about 8 minutes under the broiler.  Nice crusty, broiled salmon.

By looking at the photos, you’d think that the fish was kind of overdone.  It is definitely not and the interior of the fillet is super moist and flaky.  The crust just gives you an added crunchy bite that is really nice.

When we made this last night (MaryJo prepped the marinade and I did the final broiling), I hadn’t intended to do a recipe post, but when I pulled them out of the oven, I just had to get a couple of photos.  Then, when we ate it, I knew I had to share this.  We had the salmon with mashed sweet potatoes and raw veggies. YUM!

This broiled salmon method is from Bon Appétit magazine, slightly modified, and the names have been changed to protect the innocent!
