Winning Broiled SalmonMy favorite way to make broiled salmon! I’ve long been partial to that honey-lime combo with salmon and here it was the clear winner vs. other marinades. It perfectly highlights the flavors of salmon and the honey assists in encouraging browning. Then the final touch of spices and one extra layer of flavor. This recipe is a breeze to prepare yet the end result is perfectly impressive and even restaurant worthy. You get a tender, flaky, buttery interior and a gorgeously browned exterior with crisp edges, similar to a grill-kissed flavor. So much to love in every bite! Serve it with coconut rice (or plain jasmine rice) and sauteed vegetables (such as bell peppers, corn, red onion and squash), or a black bean and corn salad to complete it.

Is it better to broil or bake salmon?Broiled salmon gets crispier on top than baked salmon, since the salmon is positioned closer to the oven's upper heating element, and that heating element is intense. Broiled salmon cooks fillets more quickly. A 6-ounce portion of salmon needs to broil for 7 to 9 minutes only (check it at 6 minutes, just to be safe).
How do you know when broiled salmon is done?The easiest way to see if your salmon has finished cooking is to gently press down on the top of the fillet with a fork or your finger. If the flesh of the salmon flakes—meaning, it separates easily along the white lines that run across the fillet (strips of fish fat)—it's finished cooking. Take it off of the heat!
How long does it take to boil salmon?Bring slowly to the boil, uncovered, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to bring out the aromatics. Reduce the heat a little more, until the liquid is barely simmering. Gently add the salmon fillets and cook for 5-6 minutes depending on thickness, until the fish is completely opaque.
How long does it take for salmon to cook in oven?Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet or in a non-stick pan with an oven-proof handle. Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
