Easy Broiled Salmon Steaks

salmon steaks
2 tablespoons of melted butter per steak(depending on how many steaks you're doing)
some minced chives, parsley, and dill (about 1 Tbs total for 3-4 Tbs butter)
salt and pepper
a good dose of fresh lemon juice

Sauce:

mayonnaise
lemon juice
chopped capers
chopped dill pickles
Dijon mustard

Preheat your broiler. Line your broiler pan with foil and spray the top rack with a bit of cooking spray or rub it with oil for an easier cleanup.

Brush the tops of the salmon steaks with a bit of melted butter and put them under the preheated broiler for about 5 minutes per side (for 3/4" thick steaks). While they're broiling mix up the rest of the melted butter, chives, parsley, dill, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

The classic description is "the fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork." That may sound daunting if you're new, but it's true! Take a fork and poke at the fish a bit. If it falls apart easily, it's done. About a minute before the salmon is cooked through, pour the rest of the flavored butter over it and then continue broiling.

If desired, mix up the sauce and serve on the side. For a healthier dish, just serve with extra lemon wedges.
