Instructions
Instructions:
- Step 1: Preheat Your Broiler - Set your oven’s broiler to high. This will ensure that your salmon cooks quickly and gets that lovely golden-brown color on the outside.
- Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet - Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to make clean-up a breeze. This will also help the salmon cook evenly.
- Step 3: Season the Salmon - Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil, then sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Use a cooking brush or your hands to ensure the fillets are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Step 4: Broil the Salmon - Place the baking sheet under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil the salmon for 6 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be opaque and easily flake with a fork.
- Step 5: Serve and Enjoy - Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with your favorite sides, and enjoy your incredible Broiled Salmon Recipe!
