Notes
1. If you got skin-on salmon and would like to remove the skin, skip the greasing foil step and broil the salmon skin-side down. The skin will stick to the foil and you'll be able to lift your salmon fillet easily.
2. If using thinner salmon pieces (closer to the tail), skip the initial broiling part.
