- 1 tbsp honey
How to Make Easy Broiled Salmon
Step 1
Put the oven broiler at 450°F (232°C) before starting. The oven rack should be positioned at least 10 inches from the broiler element to prevent burning or overcooking
Step 2
Mix olive oil mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning and honey in a bowl to obtain the rub.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on a sheet pan that is lined with parchment paper and dry the surface using paper towels.
Step 4
The salmon receives an even application of the prepared rub. Additional flavor can be added by sprinkling sea salt along with black pepper over the salmon.
Step 5
Place the salmon inside the oven to broil for 15 minutes before reaching your preferred level of doneness.
Step 6
You should turn the pan around after 8 minutes to ensure the salmon cooks uniformly. The formation of albumin on the surface typically signals that the salmon has reached an overcooked state. The time needs adjustment according to the fillet thickness together with the pre-broiling chilling status.
Step 7
Allowing the salmon to rest for 5–10 minutes will make it easier to slice it. Garnish as desired and serve.
Step 8
An airtight container should be used for storing leftovers in the refrigerator for 3–5 days and freezing them for up to 2 months.
