You can do both but I prefer to broil mine because I like a bit of crust on top. I had it at a restaurant that way and am spoiled. I broil it for about 10-15 minutes and check it at 10 minutes. If you don't want a crust, take it out and test it to see if it is flaky or move the rack down a notch before broiling. I do it in my convection microwave since it has a broil feature. I take a fillet and cut it into individual servings before I broil it. I leave the skin on because it is easier to peel off after broiling than to skin it before broiling. I have not tried the individual portion size packages found in the freezer section at the grocery store.
I prefer baking! I rinse the fish off and pat dry with paper towels. I lay it on a large piece of aluminum foil. Then lightly coat the entire top with softened butter. I squeeze the juice of half of a lemon over it...sprinkle with paprika, salt, pepper and dried parsley. Close ends of foil...sealing the ends. Bake in preheated oven (400) degrees for 1/2 hour. It is very tasty and moist!
Alternate. Both are delicious!
curry is a nice spice for salmon..also fennel w/corrinder. Put on both sides..leave on the skin..cook non skin side first..that will give you a nice brown crust..olive oil to cook it in a pan.
Thanks!
