how long do you bake salmon fillets
1 Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. 2  Place garlic and olive oil in a small microwave safe bowl and cook on High for 1 1/2 minutes. 3  Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared pan. 4  Broil in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Turn salmon fillets so that the side of the fillet faces up, and baste fillets with about 1/3 of the butter sauce; broil for 3 minutes. Turn the fillets to place the opposite side facing up; spoon on the remaining butter sauce; broil until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 3 additional minutes.
