This broiled salmon recipe delivers perfectly flaky, tender fillets with a flavorful seasoning crust. The method is simple and quick, using the oven broiler to cook salmon to medium rare, preserving its moist texture and rich taste. Ideal for a healthy weeknight dinner, this dish pairs beautifully with fresh chopped herbs for a burst of color and freshness.

  • Total Time: 12 to 14 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 batch seasoning (Salmon Seasoning or your seasoning of choice)
  • Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or chives, optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Position the oven rack to the upper third of your oven, approximately 6 inches from the broiling element at the top, to ensure the salmon cooks evenly under direct high heat.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Line a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon fillets in a single layer without touching, with aluminum foil or broiler-safe parchment paper. This facilitates easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
  3. Arrange the salmon: Place the salmon fillets evenly across the pan skin-side down, ensuring they are spaced apart for even heat circulation.
  4. Season the fillets: Brush the fillets lightly with extra-virgin olive oil. Then, spoon and sprinkle the Salmon Seasoning evenly over each fillet to infuse flavor and enhance the crust.
  5. Broil the salmon: Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and appears medium rare in the center. An instant-read thermometer should register 135°F at the thickest part, typically 7 to 9 minutes. Start checking at 6 minutes to avoid overcooking. If the top darkens too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  6. Rest the salmon: Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This rest period allows carryover cooking to finalize the internal temperature and redistribute juices.
  7. Serve: Serve the broiled salmon warm, garnished with optional chopped fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives for added brightness and aroma.

Notes

  • Monitor the salmon closely while broiling as cooking times may vary depending on oven strength and salmon thickness.
  • If you prefer your salmon well-done, broil for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 140°F, but avoid overcooking to retain moisture.
  • Using an instant-read thermometer ensures perfectly cooked salmon every time.
  • Alternately, you can use your favorite seasoning blends if you don’t have Salmon Seasoning on hand.
