This broiled salmon takes just 9 minutes in the oven. A sheet pan dinner, it’s also an easy clean up.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 8-10 ounce center cut salmon filets
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (apple cider vinegar is fine too)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 25 grams (about 1 inch) of fresh ginger, sliced thin
  • 2 cloves of garlic, smashed

Instructions

  1. Combine all the marinade ingredients: soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Whisk together until the brown sugar dissolves.
  2. In a shallow container, combine the salmon fillets with marinade, skin side up. The top of the salmon should be submerged in the marinade. Cover and marinate for 25 minutes in the fridge. After 25 minutes, take the salmon out of the fridge and flip the salmon over, skin side down, so that the skin side of the salmon is now submerged in the marinade. Let that sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Line a sheet pan with foil. Set the top oven rack to the top most position. Turn on the broil setting to 2. Place the salmon on the sheet pan, skin side up. Broil salmon for 3 minutes.
  4. After three minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven. The skin should look crispy. Using tongs, pull the skin off the salmon filets. You can keep or discard the skin.
  5. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt on the newly peeled salmon. Return to oven and broil for 2 more minutes. After 2 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. You should see sizzling of the oils on the salmon and the edges turning brown and crispy. Flip the salmon over. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt on each salmon and return to oven for 4 minutes.
  6. After 4 minutes, the salmon is done. Remove from oven and set it sit on the sheet pan for 5 minutes before plating. The salmon should be sizzling with golden brown crispy edges.
