Salmon 101 (And How-To Broil Salmon Recipe)

Preheat the broiler by placing a cast iron or stainless steel skillet about 6 to 8 inches underneath it for about 10 minutes.

Remove the heated pan from the oven using a towel or oven mitt to protect yourself from the hot handle.

Place the salmon skin side down in the pan.

Season the salmon with a little salt and pepper.

Return the pan with the salmon back under the broiler for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.

Check the salmon for doneness; it should be a little pink in the center and flake easily with a fork.

Top the cooked salmon with a little fresh lemon juice.
