Carefully slide the broiler pan under the preheated broiler and cook until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of garlic powder to the brown sugar glaze.
If you prefer a deeper caramelization, broil for a shorter time and finish with a quick sear in a hot pan.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

May 22, 2022Be careful not to overcook the salmon under the broiler. It's better to err on the side of slightly undercooked than dry.
