Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large, shallow, non-metallic dish, combine chicken broth, olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and pepper using a whisk.
- Add the salmon steaks to the marinade, turning to coat all sides.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning the fish occasionally to ensure even marination.
- Remove the fish from the marinade and prepare for broiling.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, marinate the salmon for at least one hour, but you can extend it to four hours for a deeper taste. If you don't have Dijon mustard, a mix of yellow mustard and a touch of honey can work as a substitute. For a spicy kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the broiled salmon steaks with a side of grilled vegetables or a refreshing salad for a light meal. They pair beautifully with Tomato Green Bean Soup(Prep. Time: 30 Minutes) for a comforting touch. A drizzle of extra lemon juice right before serving enhances the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover marinated fish steaks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, place the fish under the broiler for a few minutes until warmed through, or gently pan-sear on medium heat to retain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of fish for this recipe?
Yes, other firm fish like swordfish, tuna, or halibut can also be used. Just ensure the cooking time is adjusted based on the thickness of the steaks, as each type of fish has different cooking times.
What can I serve with broiled salmon steaks?
Broiled salmon pairs well with various sides. Consider serving with quinoa salad, roasted asparagus, or a simple garlic mashed potato. For a lighter option, a cucumber and dill yogurt sauce complements the fish nicely.
Can I grill the marinated fish instead of broiling?
Absolutely! Grilling the marinated salmon steaks adds a delicious smoky flavor. Preheat your grill to medium heat, and cook the fish for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until flaky and cooked through.
