Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Preheat broiler and prepare pan: Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Prepare the salmon: In a medium bowl, pour the olive oil. Rinse salmon fillets and pat completely dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the olive oil, ensuring both sides are well coated. Place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Squeeze the juice from one lemon half evenly over the fillets. (5 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Season the salmon: Generously coat the top of each salmon fillet with the chopped parsley, oregano, basil, and minced garlic. Sprinkle evenly with half of the kosher salt. (3 minutes)

04

Step
15 mins

Broil the salmon: Carefully place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Broil for 10-15 minutes, or until the center of the salmon is light pink and the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the strength of your broiler; check frequently to avoid overcooking. (10-15 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately transfer the broiled salmon fillets to serving plates. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half over the top of the fillets. Sprinkle with the remaining kosher salt. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, let the salmon marinate in the olive oil, herbs, and garlic for 30 minutes before broiling.
Ensure the salmon fillets are patted dry before coating with oil to promote better browning.
Watch the salmon closely under the broiler to prevent burning. If the herbs start to darken too quickly, lower the rack slightly or reduce the broiler setting.
Serve with roasted red potatoes and steamed asparagus for a complete and balanced meal.
Feel free to adjust the herbs to your liking. Thyme, rosemary, or dill would also be delicious additions.

    I usually bake my salmon, but broiling it this way is so much faster and the texture is great.
