I make salmon about one a week, so it is a challenge to keep this dish fresh. Frequently I will glaze the filet with one of my marmalades and broil it 2 inches from the heating element. If you look at the pictures of some of my past broiled salmon posts this has not been ideal. The high heat tended to burn the sugar in the jam before the fish is cooked through.

Karl’s Broiled Savory Salmon
Broiled salmon has become a go to weekday dish when I need a fast meal for the family.

Frequently, I start with a glaze of one of my fruit jams—lemon or orange marmalade—but today I chose to use savory. Savory is an herb similar to sage.

Karl’s Cedar Plank Salmon with Two Dry Rubs
When I proposed my usual Greek lamb for this Easter’s dinner, I was faced with a bit of a revolt. We finally settled on both ham and salmon as the main dishes. For the salmon I eventually decided to use two spice rubs. To go with my salmon I also made a ham steak, arugula salad, latkes with pear sauce, and dinner rolls.

Avocado toast makes a great lunch when paired with a green salad. Continue reading
