Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and set the oven rack about 6 inches below the broiling element.
Rinse the salmon steaks under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on a broiler pan or a baking sheet lined with foil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon steaks, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the pan under the broiler and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side. Carefully flip the salmon steaks using a spatula and broil for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon steaks from the oven and allow them to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately alongside your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
