Instructions
MAKE THE LEMON HERBED VINAIGRETTE | MARINADE:
The vinaigrette can be used to season fish, chicken and use as salad dressing.
- Add all of the vinaigrette ingredients in a measuring cup. Whisk until emulsified (creamy)
- Reserve 3 tablespoons for marinating the salmon. Store the remaining vinaigrette in a jar with a tight lid. Keeps up to 5 days.
LETS MARINADE THE SALMON:
- In a mixing bowl, add the 3 tablespoons vinaigrette, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Give it a quick mix.
- Add the salmon and coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
LET'S BROIL (15 MINUTES LATER):
- Preheat oven broiler, if required.Note: For my oven I usually preheat using the bake setting at 400F degrees. Once it is preheated, I then switch to the broil setting.
- Lightly oil a broiler pan or sheetpan.Note: Do not line the sheet pan as it will cause a fire when broiling.
- Place the salmon steaks, in a single layer, on the broiler or sheet pan.
- Broil 6" to 8" from the broiling element/flame. Broil 4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven, Use a kitchen tong or fish spatula to gently flip the fish over. Return to the oven and broil 4 more minutes.Note: Broil time will change depending on the thickness of the fish. Usually 8 to 10 minutes get the job done.
- Four minutes later, remove the fish from the oven, Transfer to a platter. Serve with salad or vegetables. Enjoy!
