Broil marinated salmon fillets until charred for a tasty, healthy dinner that’s ready in a snap.
This super easy dinner requires only a few minutes of hands-on time. Wild salmon soaks in a simple marinade, then crisps up under the broiler for a healthy meal packed with omega-3s.
Start by whisking together a simple marinade of garlic, lime juice, olive oil, and sesame seeds. Add half the marinade to a bag with the salmon, and reserve the rest of the marinade. Now is a great time to clean up the kitchen while you wait for the fish to soak up those amazing flavors!
When you’re ready to get cooking, toss a bunch of scallions with olive oil and set it under the broiler. Once lightly charred, add the salmon and continue to broil until the top is hot and crispy, but not totally done, about six minutes. Spoon a bit more marinade over the top and scatter thin chile pepper slices over the top.
Continue to broil until the peppers are hot and the salmon is cooked through. Check doneness with a fork—if it flakes easily, it’s ready!
Serve your broiled salmon over a bed of sauteed greens, topped with more sesame seeds.
