Dijon Broiled Salmon
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp liquid aminos
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
Prep the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, liquid aminos, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the Broiler:
- Set your oven to broil and let it preheat. Adjust the oven rack so that it is about 6 inches from the broiler element.
Broil the Salmon:
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place the fillets skin-side down (if applicable) on the prepared pan.
- Place the pan under the broiler and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness. The top should be nicely browned and the fish should flake easily with a fork.
Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven.
- Use a spatula to lift the salmon off the foil, leaving the skin behind if desired.
- Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
- Enjoy your Dijon Broiled Salmon! Please note that broiler temperatures can vary, so keep a close eye on the salmon to prevent overcooking.
