How to make Broiled Salmon :
Preheat the Broiler:Set your oven to broil and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
Prepare the Marinade:In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Salmon:Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Brush the marinade generously over each fillet.
Broil the Salmon:Place the baking sheet in the oven, about 6 inches from the broiler. Broil for about 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Serve:Remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh herbs.
Recipe Notes :
Cooking Time: Adjust broiling time based on the thickness of the fillets; thicker pieces may need a bit longer.
Flavor Variations: Try adding honey or mustard to the marinade for a different flavor profile.
Side Suggestions: Serve with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave
