Broiled Salmon
This easy recipe for Broiled Salmon will have a nutrient dense protein on the table quick! This recipe uses few ingredients and is broiled in the oven.
Anyone who watches my Instagram stories knows that we eat salmon in this house quite a bit! There is one main reason why we do this other than the fact that it’s obviously so amazing for you.
It’s because despite what it may look like, it cooks FAST, especially under the broiler. Because of this, I’m able to come home after cooking for others as a personal chef and get a healthy meal on the table especially if I am using my Air Fryer to make a veggie side.

👉 Pro Tips and Tricks
- Make sure your salmon is temped out or left on the counter outside the fridge for 15 minutes to take the chill off. This will ensure that the salmon will “relax” and not get a tough texture.
- Pat your salmon dry with a paper towel before seasoning. The best way to get a nice crispy crust is to make sure there is as little moisture on the salmon as possible before seasoning and coating lightly with oil.
- Place your salmon 6 inches away from the heat source. This means you may have to move your oven rack a bit higher to ensure that the salmon is cooked evenly.
