What is THE BEST broiled salmon recipe you've ever tried or had?

This recipe came from Entertainment Tonight, way back when. They had a segment on ';Getting Ready for Oscar Night.'; They were showing some big fancy hotel where they were getting ready for the Oscar Night dinner that would be attended by all these famous Hollywood stars. And they were having salmon. The chef shared the recipe. It is by far the simplest, most elegant dish I have ever prepared, and it gets RAVES from everyone I've ever made it for. You can grill it, or prepare it in the oven under a broiler. Have passed this recipe along many times, and have actually been over to friend's homes for dinner, and they are serving....you guessed it...my recipe for...





OSCAR NIGHT SALMON





Coursley chop one cup of fresh mixed herbs, like basil, oregano, and tarragon....though you can really use any herbs you like.





Finely chop one to two garlic cloves (depending on your preference.)





Seed and dice 4 fresh medium Romano tomatoes





In a small glass bowl, add herbs, garlic, tomatoes, and 4 tbsp quality olive oil, enough to lightly coat the mixture. Gently stir together until evenly distributed.





Skin-side down, distribute the mixture onto the salmon fillet and evenly spread the mixture, covering the fillet with a thin layer of the mix. (The entire fish should be covered with about a 1/2 inch layer)





Lightly salt and pepper top of prepared fish.





Grill or broil, skin side down without flipping, until cooked through





You can play with this recipe to suit you, but it really is easy with some fabulous taste!! Looks very pretty,too!! I serve it with a brown and white rice mix, along with a pear and endive salad with a balsamic dressing. TOO GOOD!!





Good luck!!What is THE BEST broiled salmon recipe you've ever tried or had?

LEMON BUTTER BROILED SALMON STEAKS





About 35 minutes before dinner:


1. Preheat broiler 10 minutes or as manufacturer directs. Into 1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing stir 2 teaspoons prepared mustard. In small saucepan, over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter; blend in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/8 teaspoon each of dried marjoram and pepper.





2. Lay two fresh salmon steaks, 3/4 inch thick, on foil lined broiler pan; brush with butter mixture. Broil, about 2 inches from heat, for 8 minutes or until golden, brushing once with butter sauce. Turn, brush with butter sauce, then broil 5 to 7 minutes or until salmon flakes easily, but is still moist. Serve, sprinkled with 2 tablespoons snipped parsley and garnished with 2 lemon twists; pass mustard sauce. Makes 2 servings.





For 4: Double ingredients; prepare as above; 1/4 cup commercial sour cream, seasoned to taste, may replace mayonnaise in mustard sauce.What is THE BEST broiled salmon recipe you've ever tried or had?
THE BEST SALMON:(Cooked in the oven) Is to use LEMON PEPPER, with the Salmon Coated in Olive Oil....%26amp; salt and garlic......pre heat the oven, around 300-350 depending on your oven. Place Salmon on a metal baking sheet and cook till tender and the skin is lightly crispy. You can cut up some vegies and place around the Salmon, and coat them in Olive Oil %26amp; seasonings as well.

Rub with minced garlic, sprikle w/salt %26amp; pepper %26amp; place on baking sheet sprayed with pam skin side down %26amp; broil til done - fish will turn pink %26amp; flake.
