Broiling is an easy way to cook less fatty varieties of salmon, such as sockeye and coho salmon, to deliver juicy and flavorful fish. Serve the broiled salmon with a bright sauce alongside vegetable side dishes for a complete meal. You can also add the salmon as a topping on a leafy green salad or as a filling in Vietnamese spring rolls.
