1-First, position the oven rack about 6 inches from the top broiling element, in the upper third of the oven. This setup ensures even heat for that perfect crisp.

2-Next, line a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon fillets in a single layer with aluminum foil or broiler-safe parchment for easy cleanup.

3-Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down, making sure they don’t touch each other. This helps the fish cook evenly and keeps the skin from sticking.

4-Then, brush the fillets with the 2 tablespoons of oil and evenly sprinkle with your seasoning mix.

5-Broil the salmon for 7 to 9 minutes, checking at 6 minutes to see how it’s doing. Cook until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, looks medium rare in the center, and hits an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For well-done salmon, go up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, but don’t overdo it to avoid drying out the fish.

6-If the top starts to brown too fast, loosely cover it with foil. Once it’s done, let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving to let the flavors settle.

7-Throughout this process, use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness accurately, as it can go from perfect to overcooked quickly. This step-by-step approach works great for busy parents or working professionals who need reliable results.
