Just thought I’d post a quick note on my quick-and-easy (and preferred) method for cooking salmon. Salmon is probably my favorite fish, and nothing beats it when it’s fresh… anyway, here’s how I’ve been fixing it lately:
- Turn the broiler on high. Move the oven rack up accordingly.
- Line your broiler pan (or similar) with a sheet of aluminum foil. Turn the edges up to minimize the mess.
- Spritz the foil with non-stick cooking spray. It makes things infinitely easier.
- Prepare the salmon: I season it with seasoning salt, lemon pepper (if I have it), and dill. Simple.
- Place it on the foil, and drizzle with olive oil.
- Put it in the oven, cook for 4-5 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cut). Flip it, and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
- Remove it to your plate, and eat.
Simple, quick, and easy. And so good.
Wow, you wife lets salmon in the house. She is sucha fish hater.
What, no cedar plank? How can you cook salmon without doing it on a cedar plank? 😉
