Hank Wetzel’s Broiled Salmon

“I always use freshly caught fish. I prefer King Salmon but Sockeye or Coho Salmon or even halibut work well with this recipe too. You can expand it for a large group by doubling or tripling the ingredients as you increase the amount of fish. I like this dish because it’s fresh with not a lot of extra calories. Broiling the fish really sears the outside and leaves moisture on the inside.”
