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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and set the oven rack about 6 inches below the broiling element.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon steaks, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the salmon steaks from the oven and allow them to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately alongside your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
