Ingredients

  • 2 6-8 oz. salmon filets, patted dry fresh or frozen (thawed), skin-on or skinless
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Place top oven rack 5-6 inches under broiler. Turn oven on broil. Line a baking pan with foil, spray with nonstick spray.
  • Place salmon onto the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, parsley, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Brush the mixture on top of the salmon.
  • Broil 5-7 minutes or until flaky and internal temperature reads 135 degrees. Set aside to allow carryover heat to fully cook it to 145 degrees. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Do not use parchment paper, it will burn under the broiler. 
  • Exact cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon. 
  • Taste the mayonnaise mixture before brushing onto the salmon and adjust to your personal preferences. 
  • If using skin-on salmon, place it skin side down on the pan.
