Ingredients

For this salmon recipe, I use olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper on both the salmon and the zucchini.

How To Broil Salmon In A Toaster Oven

Step 1

• Begin by lining the toaster oven tray with aluminum foil, this makes cleanup easy.
• Rinse the zucchini and pat it dry.
• Using a sharp knife, cut off the ends of the zucchini.
• Then cut the zucchini in half to create a flat surface.
• Slice the zucchini into ½-inch strips, then chop each strip into dices.

Step 2

• Pour the olive oil on top of the salmon and add salt and pepper.
• Rub the oil, salt and pepper into the salmon.

Step 3

• Turn the salmon fillet over so that the bottom side gets a little oil on it as well.

Step 4

• To season the diced zucchini, toss the zucchini into a bowl, add the salt, pepper and olive oil and toss to coat the vegetables evenly with the oil.
• Pour the diced zucchini onto the tray next to the salmon.

Step 5

• Place the tray in the toaster oven and broil salmon and zucchini for 7-10 minutes.
• After the salmon has cooked, squeeze lemon juice over the top of the salmon and the zucchini.

Expert Tips

• If you’re not a fan of zucchini, you could easily substitute yellow squash, broccoli or cauliflower florets and prepare them the same way as the zucchini.
• If you don't have a toaster oven, I can recommend this Hamilton Beach toaster oven that I have in my kitchen and use all the time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Health Benefits Of Salmon?

Salmon is full of Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are one of the "good" types of fat. The body needs it to function and doesn't make them on it's own.
Among its many benefits, Omega-3  promotes healthy joints and healthy skin and also reduces the risk of heart disease. Salmon can also fulfill a large part of your daily protein requirement and is also high in vitamins B-12, B-6 and Vitamin D.
