Super Simple Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb salmon fillet, fresh or frozen
2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Preparation

Preheat broiler to high with rack placed about 4 inches from heat source.
Put salmon skin side down in a roasting pan.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with butter.
Broil 6-7 minutes, then check, the top should be browning.
To tell if it's done, use a thin-bladed knife to cut a slit in the thickest part of the fillet and peek inside. The fish should be flaky and light in color.
If needed, broil for 1-2 minutes more.
When cooked, use a metal spatula to lift the salmon right off the skin and serve it browned side up.
For added yumminess, top with leek sauce. Recipe #388486.
