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))
Steps
-
Position the oven rack to the upper third of your oven; it should be about 6 inches from the broiling element at the top.
-
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. Arrange the fillets evenly across the pan, skin-side down.
-
Brush the fillets with oil, then use a small spoon to sprinkle evenly with the Salmon Seasoning.
-
Broil the salmon fillets until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, it appears medium rare in the center, and the internal temperature on an instant read thermometer inserted at the thickest part reaches 135°F, about 7 to 9 minutes (check early at the 6-minute mark to gauge progress). If you prefer your salmon well-done, leave it in for another minute or so, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. DO NOT overcook. If at any point the top of the salmon starts to look too dark for your liking, loosely tent it with foil.
-
Let the salmon rest 5 minutes (the carryover cooking will bring it all the way to temperature). Serve warm
