So easy to make this meal, it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and it’s super healthful. I love to broil my fish because it’s the less messy than frying or steaming fish and faster than baking.
Oh, I learn from buying salmon from Costco–they sell it with herb butter and dill–that leaving the dill on to broil resulted in a crisp, singed dill, which is delicious.
I usually season it either with salt and pepper. Or home made teriyaki sauce which is a blend of soy sauce, sugar, garlic and a little oil.
But last week when a friend came for lunch I decided to make a marinade with soy sauce and butter. Lately I’ve been trying all sorts of butter so I thought I’d have some fun blending the butter with soy sauce.
Making the soy marinade was easy. I just melted 2 thin slabs of butter into a small pan, and then when it started to froth up, I added soy sauce.
Serve the salmon over rice and vegetables or a crisp salad. Leftovers keep well; I snack on it cold.
After cooling the marinade for a few minutes I drizzled it on the salmon and then broiled it.
Broiled Salmon With Soy Sauce Butter
Preparation time: 5-10 minutes
Cooking time: 7-10 minutes
Making the Soy Sauce Butter
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
In a small pan melt butter until it froths. Add soy sauce and stir quickly, about 10 seconds. Remove from heat. Leave to cool.
Broiling the salmon
1 large fillet salmon, cut into three slices
Salt and pepper
Soy Sauce Butter
3 small stalks dill
Place salmon on aluminum foil-line baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
Drizzle soy sauce butter over fish. Top each piece of salmon with dill.
Turn oven to Broil. Place baking sheet about 6 inches from the broiling element.
Broil for 7-8 minutes until salmon is slightly seared and golden. Broil for 9-10 minutes if you prefer fully-cooked salmon.
NOTES
Variation
If you prefer, you can double or triple the recipe for Soy Sauce Butter and serve with salmon. Keep butter warm before serving.
I served my broiled salmon over a quinoa salad.
