Preparation and cooking overview
Preparing this Keto Broiled Salmon recipe is a breeze! Begin by marinating the salmon fillets in our tangy lemon herb mix. Next, arrange the fillets on a cast-iron baking sheet and slide them under the oven broiler. After about 10 minutes, the fillets will be ready.
Chef's note
Don't worry if you're out of fresh oregano and dill! Substitute them with dried herbs such as thyme or rosemary. These alternatives will still lend a wonderful and distinctive flair to your dish. Keep in mind that dried herbs pack a stronger punch, so you'll want to use half the quantity compared to what's recommended for fresh ones in the recipe.

Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Measure and gather all the ingredients.
- If you're using the optional marinade, combine the lemon juice, fresh oregano leaves, fresh dill, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
Cooking instructions
- If you're going for the marinade option, combine its ingredients with the oil. Lay the salmon in a shallow dish and drizzle the marinade over it. Or, if you prefer, simply drizzle the salmon with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven's broiler to 500°F (260°C).
- Next, arrange the salmon fillets on a cast-iron baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Broil the salmon for 10-15 minutes or until the top is crispy and browned. Use a kitchen thermometer to check the internal temperature - aim for 120°F (50°C) for medium-rare or 140°F (60°C) for well-done salmon.
Chef's pro tip
Keep an eye on your salmon as it broils. Remember, the salmon keeps cooking a little, even after you take it out of the oven. So, it's a good idea to cook it just less than you want, then let it rest for a few minutes. This will give you a tender and juicy salmon.
