Just thought I’d post a quick note on my quick-and-easy (and preferred) method for cooking salmon. Salmon is probably my favorite fish, and nothing beats it when it’s fresh… anyway, here’s how I’ve been fixing it lately:

• Turn the broiler on high. Move the oven rack up accordingly.
• Line your broiler pan (or similar) with a sheet of aluminum foil. Turn the edges up to minimize the mess.
• Spritz the foil with non-stick cooking spray. It makes things infinitely easier.
• Prepare the salmon: I season it with seasoning salt, lemon pepper (if I have it), and dill. Simple.
• Place it on the foil, and drizzle with olive oil.
• Put it in the oven, cook for 4-5 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cut). Flip it, and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
• Remove it to your plate, and eat.

Simple, quick, and easy. And so good.
