Preparation
- Step 1
Position one oven rack 6 inches from the broiler heat source then heat the broiler. Season the salmon fillets all over with ½ teaspoon salt and a couple of grinds of pepper and place them on an aluminum foil-lined sheet pan, skin side down.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk the oil and mustard until well mixed. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with this mustard mixture.
- Step 3
Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. (The center of the fillets will be dark pink, if you pierce one with a paring knife and take a look.) If your fillets are thinner, reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes. If you prefer more well-done fish, add 1 or 2 minutes to the cooking time.
- Step 4
Squeeze a lemon wedge all over the cooked salmon fillets, then serve salmon with more lemon wedges on the side.

great receipe, place lemon slices under the salmon and forget the foil for each clean up & some extra flavor.
FYI, silicone baking mats typically say NOT to use them under the broiler. Same no-no with parchment paper, although for different reasons.
The recipe is great! However ... if you own a sheet pan, you should really use silicone baking sheets (2 for $14 at Amazon) rather than use-once-and-landfill aluminum foil.
Equal amount of brown sugar. Air fryer: 12 min plus 1 min broil
Did this on in a broiler drawer on our gas oven. Took about 8 minutes with the broiler on low. Next time I may try it on high, since there wasn’t much of a crust.
this is the best salmon recipe i've ever tried, hands down.
