Broiled Salmon
Broiled salmon glazed with a savory marinade of soy sauce, Worcestershire, lemon juice, parsley, and onion offers a flavorful and quick seafood option. Perfect for weeknights or special occasions, this dish delivers tender, flaky fish with a deliciously tangy and umami-rich profile.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, and chopped onion to create the marinade.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets and let sit for 1 hour.
- Preheat the broiler. Broil the salmon with the flesh side toward the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Turn the salmon over, baste with the marinade, and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or ginger to the marinade. If you're out of Worcestershire sauce, a mix of soy sauce and balsamic vinegar can work as a substitute. Be careful not to overcook the salmon; it should be removed from the broiler when it’s opaque and flakes easily. This dish is also perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the broiled salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a light meal. It pairs beautifully with rice or quinoa and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. For a special touch, consider serving it alongside Oliver'S Halibut for a delightful seafood feast.
