Broiled Salmon and Tomato

Broiled Salmon and tomato

 

Salmon is so good for you and majorly delicious too! One of the many great ways to have this marvelous fish is to broil it. I like this recipe because it is simple, fast, and tasty!

I always try to marinade my meat a day before I make it. So if you are reading this now, you can get to prepping and have it ready to go for tomorrow. It is a nice teaser for your family to see what is marinating in the frig when they open the door scavenging for food. I always hear, “Oh, we are having salmon tonight” Sorry no, maybe if you play your cards right I will make it tomorrow, pending your dish washing skills tonight, ha!

My daughter is not a big fan of the onion and garlic combo I broil with the fish, so after cooking I put them in a side dish. My hubby and I can top ours with the onions/garlic and she can have hers without and just the tomato on the side. This keeps everyone happy 🙂

2 4oz Salmon filets
