Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
2 teaspoons grated garlic
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, skinned and cut into 1-inch pieces
-
Chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, for garnish
Method
- Combine butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add salmon pieces and toss to coat well. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
-
Preheat broiler to High.
-
Place the salmon pieces on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the bowl over the salmon. (If the butter has solidified, microwave for 3 to 5 seconds to warm.) Broil the salmon 4 inches from the heat source until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired.
