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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
