Mediterranean Salmon

Mediterranean Salmon pairs tender, flaky fillets with a tangy balsamic and olive oil marinade infused with garlic and fresh herbs. Broiling gives the fish a lightly caramelized finish and bright, savory depth. It’s a vibrant weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests.

Mediterranean Salmon
  1. 1

    Combine the oil and vinegar in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish. Rub the garlic over the salmon, then pour the oil and vinegar mixture over the top, turning once to coat. Season with garlic salt, then sprinkle the cilantro and basil over the top. Let stand for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven broiler.

  4. 4

    Take the salmon out of the marinade and shake off the excess. Discard all but a few tablespoons of the remaining marinade.

  5. 5

    Broil the salmon in the preheated oven, turning once and brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade until the last 4 minutes, until the fish is browned on both sides and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
