How to broil salmon in the oven
The broiler can be an intimating part of the oven. I know it took me a bit to figure it all out too. Just think of it as the grill being turned upside down and you are cooking it closer to the heat. You will want to line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper all around. This will help keep the juice all in one place. Move your oven rack to a higher level. You will want it to be about 6 inches away from the top. Preheat your broiler on high. Then simply broil your salmon for 6 to 8 minutes or until it is broiled to desired doneness.
How long does it take to broil salmon?

The meat is cooked with the fat liquifies and runs out. Cook the salmon further only to get the degree of doneness that you desire. When flakes separate easily but the meat is translucent, its rare but edible.
Is it better to bake or broil salmon?
This is a toss up. I do love baking my salmon and love having that tender juiciness. Broiling a salmon brings out its natural oiliness. Also, it creates a great glaze on the crust.
