Instructions:
- Preheat the Broiler:
- Preheat your broiler to high. Adjust the oven rack to the top position to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Salmon:
- Put the salmon fillets in a sealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure to coat every fillet completely. To infuse the flavors, give the salmon a 15โ30 minute marinade.
- Broil the Salmon:
- For simple cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet if using skin-on salmon.
- Place the salmon-filled baking sheet under the broiler’s preheated element. Cook the salmon for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is thoroughly cooked and flakes with a fork. The thickness of the fillets may affect the cooking time.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the salmon is cooked to perfection, remove it from the broiler.
- Along with your preferred side dishes, such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad, serve the Quick and Easy Broiled Salmon hot.
