Ingredients
  

  • 26 ounce salmon fillet
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Equipment

  • Broiler pan or baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Spatula
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Broiler - Start by preheating your oven’s broiler. This will ensure that your salmon cooks evenly and develops a beautiful golden crust.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet - Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. This step is essential as it prevents the salmon from sticking and makes serving a breeze.
  3. Step 3: Season the Salmon - Place the 26-ounce salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper over the top. Feel free to adjust the seasoning based on your spice preference.
  4. Step 4: Broil the Salmon - Slide the baking sheet under the preheated broiler. Allow the salmon to broil for about 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy! - Once done, remove the salmon from the oven. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair it with your favorite side dish, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy the tender, flaky goodness of your 3-Ingredient Tender Broiled Salmon!

Notes

  • For added flavor, try marinating the salmon before cooking.
  • Adjust the spice level by modifying the amount of crushed red pepper.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
