Notes
Recipe Footnotes
Salmon thickness varies, which affects the degree of doneness in the given broiling time. If your salmon needs more time under the broiler, go for it! (I personally like mine med-rare, but you might like well-done). Other broiled salmon tips • Skin-on or skinless salmon will work for this recipe. • We often use wild Sockeye salmon fillets for this recipe, but any type of salmon filet can be broiled • I’ve broiled a whole side of salmon using this exact recipe. It required a few more minutes under the broiler and I used the same techniques as I use with the smaller fillets. • For even heating, always line up salmon fillets directly under the broiler flame.
