Recipe View 15 mins Broil in the center of the preheated oven until the salmon is easily flaked with a fork but remains moist and succulent, approximately 15-20 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet. Monitor closely to prevent overcooking.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of honey to the salmon before broiling.
If you don't have fresh dill on hand, dried dill can be substituted, but use half the amount as the flavor is more concentrated.
Ensure your broiler pan is clean to prevent smoking. Lining it with foil can also make cleanup easier.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad.

    The lemon slices on the bottom are a great idea! It keeps the salmon from sticking to the pan and adds a nice citrusy flavor.
