Easy broiled salmon is one of my favorite ways to cook up this delicious protein. With a simple marinade of olive oil, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and garlic, this salmon recipe is full of flavor. Perfect for a nutritious meal with minimal effort!
In large bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
Place salmon fillets in marinade. Spoon marinade over fillets to cover. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours max.
Preheat broiler (set to high if your broiler has multiple settings) and coat baking sheet with non-stick spray. Transfer marinated fillets to baking sheet, skin-side down.
Set baking sheet under preheated broiler. Broil 10 to 12 minutes, or until salmon is flaky and opaque. Remove from oven and serve.
For the Lemon Butter Sauce (Optional)
Add all sauce ingredients to small saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer 2 minutes until butter melts and sauce is combined. Pour over salmon or serve on side.
Notes
Make it Dairy Free: Skip the lemon butter sauce, or use a vegan butter.
