Broiled Salmon Food

EASY BROILED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the broiler on high and set an oven rack directly below the heating element (4 inches below). Line a large rimmed broiler-safe baking sheet with foil (for easy cleanup).
• Generously spray both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil.
• Place the fish fillets in the pan, skin side down. Sprinkle their tops with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
• Lightly spray the tops again, to help keep the spices (especially the thyme) moist and prevent them from scorching under the broiler.
• Broil the salmon until opaque and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

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 SALMON

Steps:

• Coat each salmon fillet with the olive oil (just enough to make it shine, not drip) and salt and pepper.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat and place the salmon skin side up, (even if the skin has been removed) this is VERY important. Then close the lid and allow to cook about 5 to 7 minutes. Check the grill to make sure there are no flame flare-ups and the salmon is cooking evenly, and let cook another 3 to 4 minutes. You are going to let the fish cook about 90 percent on this side. After about 8 to 9 minutes the salmon should turn over easily and allow to finish another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill and serve with your favorite side dishes. The entire cooking time should be about 10 to 12 minutes.

BROILED SALMON WITH GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and saute garlic for 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add flour, mixing well with a whisk. Return to medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
• Add evaporated milk, a little at a time, continuing to whisk sauce as it thickens.
• Add sherry and allow sauce to simmer. Stir in 1/4 cup lowfat milk or more, if needed, to thin sauce to a creamy consistency (should lightly coat a spoon).
• Add lemon juice and blend well; set aside.
• Place fish in a small broiling pan that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray. Season lightly with pepper.
• Dot each piece with butter and broil for 4-5 minutes per side. Salmon is cooked when fish is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
• Serve immediately with reserved sauce.

BROILED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS WITH HERBS

Steps:

• In a medium serving bowl, toss together the herbs, scallions, red-pepper flakes, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Season with more lemon or oil as needed until the leaves look glossy. Set aside.
• Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from the heat source.
• In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and mustard until smooth. Add the asparagus to a large sheet pan, toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Move the asparagus to the sides, and place the salmon skin side down in the center. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, brush the tops and sides with the soy mixture, then toss the asparagus in the rest of the soy mixture. (Use a paper towel to wipe off excess soy on the sheet pan, as it will smoke.)
• Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, and 8 to 10 minutes for medium, depending on the strength of your broiler and the thickness of the salmon. (Reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes for thinner fillets.) If it looks like it's browning too quickly or smoking excessively, move to a lower rack to finish cooking. Top the salmon and asparagus with the herb salad or serve on the side with a final round of pepper.

EASY BROILED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, and paprika in a bowl. Smear almost one-half on one side of salmon lightly.
• Broil salmon about 3 inches from flame for 4 minutes.
• Turn steaks and smear rest of dressing mixture on them. This coating should be a bit heavier than that on the other side. Broil for another 4 minutes.
• NOTE: Don't be afraid to substitute other mustards for the Dijon. I found a mustard with dill that works perfectly. I also like the Jack Daniels mustard. Or substitute 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard with lemon pepper for the paprika.

BROILED SALMON RECIPE

• Mix first 4 ingredients until blended. Reserve 1/4 cup of the dressing mixture. Pour remaining dressing mixture over fish in shallow dish; turn to evenly coat fish. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate.
• Heat broiler. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Place fish on rack of broiler pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Broil, 4 inches from heat, 6 min. on each side or until fish flakes easily with fork, brushing occasionally with reserved dressing mixture.
