Broil the salmon steaks from 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning once. Use a thin-bladed knife to peek at the flesh near the bone. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Can be made up to 3 hours in advance. Serve fish with sauce and lemon wedges.
Some recipes call for using baking pans under the broiler.
But thin pans will warp. We found the best pans are roasting pans and broiler pans, which have separate tops with slots to drain away fat. To cut smoke, keep the range fan on, preheat the oven and make sure both the oven and the pan are clean. Adding water to the bottom of a broiler pan to cut smoke doesn't work well and tends to steam the food. Non-stick cooking spray is a cook's best friend.
