4 for 20: Broiled Citrus Salmon

Although salmon is often considered a more classy or upscale dish, it can be easily prepared for a decent price. One of my favorite preparations of this fish is broiled. Now, I may not have a big, fancy, state-of-the-art restaurant broiler, but I do have a broiler in my oven that will work just as well.

Broiling a Salmon is simple and the only real time is preparation, which is quite easy. I am telling you all you will love this dish. Go to the store and go to the fresh fish area and ask them for salmon. I usually buy 1-½ pounds especially if it is on sale, and that is the amount but you’ll need for the recipe. They will slice it for you too — usually for free. Gather up the other ingredients and lets get started.
