Broiling salmon with a soy sauce mixture is a quick, simple method for cooking highly flavorful and healthy salmon with a crisp crust and moist interior. Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids and protein, and it is also relatively low in fat and calories. When cooking salmon, start with fresh, wild-caught salmon if you can find it in your area, as it has more nutritional value than farmed salmon.
Step 1
Preheat the broiler to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Pat the salmon fillet or steak with paper towels to remove the excess moisture.
Step 2
Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil and lightly brush the aluminum foil with vegetable oil.
Step 3
Combine the vegetable oil, soy sauce and honey in a small mixing bowl and mix to combine the ingredients.
Step 4
Place the salmon fillet or steak on the greased aluminum foil and brush the salmon with half the soy sauce mixture. Season the salmon to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillet or steak in the broiler for five minutes on the first side. Flip the salmon over and brush the other side with the remaining soy sauce mixture.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the broiler and transfer it to a warm serving plate. Serve the salmon immediately while it’s hot.
Tips and Warnings
- Serve the salmon with a freshly sliced lemon or lime wedge for extra color and flavor. For a more savory flavor, replace half of the honey with rice wine vinegar.
