Recipe Notes

If cooking salmon fillets with skin, cook skin-side down first. Also, after cooking the salmon fillets, you can add the lemon wedges around the salmon for a stronger lemon taste. Baste salmon one more time, then transfer the pan to your oven to broil or grill for 5 to 6 minutes more, or until the tops of the salmon are nicely charred, and the salmon is cooked to your liking.
