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)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Position the oven rack to the upper third of your oven; it should be about 6 inches from the broiling element at the top.
  2. 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.
  3. Brush the fillets with oil, then use a small spoon to sprinkle evenly with the Salmon Seasoning.
  4. 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.
  5. Let the salmon rest 5 minutes (the carryover cooking will bring it all the way to temperature). Serve warm

Notes

  • TO STORE: Refrigerate salmon in an airtight storage container for up to 2 days. 
  • TO REHEAT: Gently rewarm leftovers in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat or in the microwave. 
  • TO FREEZE: Freeze salmon in an airtight, freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
