MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH BROILED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil, and spray with nonstick spray.
• Place garlic and olive oil in a small microwave safe bowl and cook on High for 1 1/2 minutes. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and stir in the garlic mixture. Remove from heat; stir in the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, white wine, black pepper, garlic salt, and fines herbs.
• Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared pan. Spoon about 1/3 of the butter sauce over the fillets, and sprinkle evenly with the fresh dill.
• Broil in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Turn salmon fillets so that the side of the fillet faces up, and baste fillets with about 1/3 of the butter sauce; broil for 3 minutes. Turn the fillets to place the opposite side facing up; spoon on the remaining butter sauce; broil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 additional minutes.

BROILED GARLIC-HERB SALMON

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Pour oil into a medium bowl. Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry. Dip fillets into oil, being sure to coat both sides, and place skin-side down into the prepared baking pan. Squeeze as much juice as you can from 1 lemon half over the fillets. Coat both sides of salmon with parsley, oregano, basil, and garlic, and sprinkle with 1/2 of the kosher salt.

BROILED SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Rub salmon down in olive oil. Cut your lemon in half and set 1 half off to the side. Cut the other half into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay them on a broiler pan and lay the salmon on top of them. You just need enough to cover the bottom of the salmon so it's not touching the pan. Sprinkle with dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Lightly squeeze the remainder of the lemon over the whole salmon; not too much, you don't want your seasoning to run off.
• Cook in the center of the preheated oven on a low broil until easily flaked with a fork but still juicy, 15 to 20 minutes.

STEPHAN'S BROILED SALMON PESTO

• Preheat broiler.
• Coat the top side of the fish with thick layer of pesto. It should be between an 1/8th to a 1/4 of an inch thick, and cover the surface of the fish.
• Place fish under the broiler about nine inches from heat source. Broil for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until fish flakes and flesh is opaque. Pesto should have formed a heavily browned crust. Remove from the oven, and set aside for a few minutes. Squeeze half of second lemon over fish. Slice remaining lemon half into thin slices. Place lemon slices on individual servings, or arrange on the whole flank if serving at the table.

BROILED SALMON WITH CITRUS YOGURT SAUCE

EASY MUSTARD-GLAZED BROILED SALMON

BROILED SALMON WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Steps:

• Place fish on plate.
• Combine cilantro, garlic, lime juice, oil and salt in a bowl.
• Set 2 tablespoons aside in a separate bowl.
• Pour the cilantro mixture over the fish (do not use the 2 Tbsp reserved marinade).
• Cover and let it sit 10 minutes.
• Spray broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place salmon on rack and brush with 1 tablespoon marinade.
• Broil 6" from heat about 3-4 minutes.
• Turn steaks over and brush with remaining tablespoon of marinade.
• Broil 3 more minutes or until cooked through.
• Note: I have used two very thick salmon steaks instead of the four 3/4 inch thick ones that the recipe calls for, and I have used the same amount of marinade.
• However, since thicker steaks will take longer to cook, the marinade can burn.
• To compensate for this, I add a little bit of marinade at a time.
• For example, if the salmon steaks are 1- 1 1/2 inch thick or more, they can take around 10 minutes to cook.
• So I brush the salmon steaks with less marinade, around 1/2 tablespoon.
• I then remove them from the broiler after 2 1/2- 3 minutes, and add a little more marinade, reserving enough for two more applications.
• Then I broil for another 2 1/2 minutes.
• I then turn the salmon over and add more marinade, still reserving a little.
• I broil another 2 1/2 minutes.
• I then add the remaining marinade and broil the remaining 2 1/2 minutes or until cooked through.
• This may seem tiresome, but it's well worth it.
• The marinade is great and you definitely don't want it to burn!

Spoon some reserved marinade over and broil until salmon is charred around edges, about 6 minutes (watch closely to keep from burning). Spoon more marinade over; top with chile. Broil until salmon is charred and medium-rare at thickest part, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with more sesame seeds.
