Delicious Salmon in Seconds!

Okay, I admit the title maybe slightly misleading — what I really mean to say is that the hands-on time for making this simple salmon dish will only take seconds, but the whole cooking time will actually take about 8 – 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the salmon steaks).

This lazy method requires 3 steps:

• First, clean the salmon steak, pat dry with a paper towel and place onto a greased baking sheet. [This should take no more than 30 seconds.]
• Second, place the baking sheet on the top rack of the broiler and broil for 8 – 10 minutes, until desired doneness, turning over the fish once.
• Meanwhile, whip up a quick dressing to pour over the salmon once it is ready. Or, simply serve the dressing on the side as a dip. For a quick and tasty dressing that takes no more than 10 seconds to put together, try my all-time favourite combination of mayonnaise and wasabi paste (start off with equal parts of each and adding in more wasabi for a stronger taste or more mayo to tone it down). Another great variation is soy sauce with wasabi paste (as shown in the picture above).

This recipe is nothing fancy, but it promises great flavour each and every time. I use the simplest method to cook the salmon to showcase its flavour, and complement it with a quick dressing to bring the dish together. By using a little bit of creativity, you can create a new dressing every time, and alter the whole the flavour profile and give you a whole new salmon dish each time.

The little effort required to prepare the fish and the endless flavour combination possibilities make this method a winner in my books, and that is why I never get tired of having salmon for dinner!
