Ingredients

4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz. each
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 tablespoons salmon seasoning (or seasoning of your choice)

Instructions

Preheat broiler to high with the oven rack about 6 inches away from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with foil (parchment paper will burn under the broiler).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz. each
Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning, patting to adhere.
2 teaspoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons salmon seasoning
Broil the salmon for 6 to 9 minutes, or until the salmon is browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 135ºF to 145ºF, depending on how thick the salmon fillets are and how you like your salmon cooked). Keep an eye on the salmon to prevent it from burning or overcooking. If it’s getting too brown, loosely place foil over the top of the salmon.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover broiled salmon covered or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 days. Leftover salmon can be enjoyed either cold or reheated. To reheat, place the salmon in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat. You can also use the microwave.
To Freeze: Cooked salmon freezes great. Store cooled leftover salmon in a freezer safe container and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw the salmon in the fridge overnight before reheating.
