Effortless! Pair it with a simple salad or rice and veggies for an easy, healthy meal.The simple marinade uses pantry-staple ingredients to amplify and compliment the flavors of the salmon. Nothing overpowers anything else, and even the optional lemon butter sauce plays up the lemon flavor in the marinade. Seriously, it’s so good. You can change up the ingredients in the broiled salmon marinade for a different flavor every time. Instead of Worcestershire, try soy sauce and honey. You could also swap out the lemon juice for lime juice, skip the Worcestershire, and add in a little chili powder and paprika for a smoky, citrusy marinade.

Chef’s Tips
Set your oven racks up so your broiled salmon fillets are roughly 6 inches beneath the heating element. Too close and they’ll burn!I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, but – broilers vary! Some are on/off, and some are high/low, and some let you set a temperature. If you’ve got a high/low option, broil on high. If you need to set the temperature, set it to 500° Fahrenheit.Worried that the broiled salmon will stick to the pan? I hear you! But as long as you spray it with non-stick spray first, then broil the salmon skin-side down, you should be fine. Don’t flip the salmon over at any point, either.
