- Generously spray both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil.
- Place the fish fillets in the pan, skin side down. Sprinkle their tops with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.

Steps:
- In a re-sealable bag or a small deep bowl, mix maple syrup and soy sauce. Arrange fillets so that marinade completely covers fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for as long possible (a minimum of 4 hours, but ideally 24 hours to do it justice).
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Rub oil on a 10 by 10-inch sheet of aluminum foil.
- Place pepper on a small plate. Remove salmon from marinade and pat topside only into cracked pepper to coat. Place fillets, pepper side up, on foil.
- Bake on the top rack of the oven for approximately 7 minutes. (Syrup may cause fish to smoke when cooking, do not be alarmed.) Salmon can also be grilled directly over hot coals for about 3 minutes per side. But do not even think about using a microwave. Avoid overcooking the fillets. Salmon is best when the color has turned to a pale pink, but the fish is still moist throughout. Serve immediately on warmed plates.
CRACKED BLACK PEPPER SALMON
This is such a simple way to dress up salmon. The olive oil helps the pepper to crisp up in the oven, adding texture to the fish. Despite the amount of pepper on top, the spice is not overwhelming, just nice. You must use freshly ground black pepper for this, which is fairly coarse, not the powdered black pepper.

Steps:
- Cut the salmon fillet slightly on the bias into four pieces of equal weight. Set aside.
- Peel the onions and cut them crosswise in half. Cut the half into quarters. Cut the quarters into 1-inch cubes. There should be about 5 1/2 cups.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy casserole and add the onion pieces. Cover. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. The onions will start to brown. Uncover and add the vinegar. Cook briefly until the vinegar is almost evaporated and then stir in the honey. Cover tightly. Cook 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the salmon pieces with salt. Coat each piece with oil and equal amounts of coarsely cracked black pepper.
- The salmon may be cooked on a grill or under the broiler. Preheat the grill or the broiler to high. If the fish is to be broiled, place the pieces skin side down on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet under the broiler with the fish about 4 inches from the source of heat. Leave the broiler door partly open. Cook 3 minutes and turn the pieces; continue cooking about 3 minutes more. If the salmon is to be grilled, place the pieces on the grill skin side down. Cook about 3 minutes and turn the pieces; cook about 3 minutes more. Transfer the fish to a warm platter.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan and add the lemon juice and herbs. When the mixture starts to bubble, pour it over the salmon pieces. Serve the salmon with equal portions of the onions on the side.

BROILED SALMON AND ASPARAGUS WITH HERBS
Many people fear the broiler because they don't know how to use it, or they're worried they'll overdo it and end up with a scorched dinner. But when used properly, it's a useful tool ideal for crisping chicken skin, charring vegetables and melting cheese. Broiling is also a great method for perfectly cooking salmon: It yields a deeply browned crust and a tender center that isn't overcooked. All broilers are different, and knowing the strength of yours and being aware of any uneven "hot spots" help maximize the efficiency of it. (As your dish cooks, look to see if it's cooking evenly across the surface, which will tell you if you need to move things around.) In this recipe, soy-and-mustard-coated salmon and asparagus cook under the broiler, and are topped with an herb salad for a hit of brightness, freshness and acidity.

Steps:
- In a medium serving bowl, toss together the herbs, scallions, red-pepper flakes, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Season with more lemon or oil as needed until the leaves look glossy. Set aside.
- Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from the heat source.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and mustard until smooth. Add the asparagus to a large sheet pan, toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Move the asparagus to the sides, and place the salmon skin side down in the center. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, brush the tops and sides with the soy mixture, then toss the asparagus in the rest of the soy mixture. (Use a paper towel to wipe off excess soy on the sheet pan, as it will smoke.)
- Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, and 8 to 10 minutes for medium, depending on the strength of your broiler and the thickness of the salmon. (Reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes for thinner fillets.) If it looks like it's browning too quickly or smoking excessively, move to a lower rack to finish cooking. Top the salmon and asparagus with the herb salad or serve on the side with a final round of pepper.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a bright pink color.
- If you don't have cracked black pepper, you can use regular black peppercorns and crush them in a mortar and pestle.
- Be careful not to overcook the salmon. It should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
Conclusion:
Broiled salmon with cracked black pepper crust is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your salmon well-done or medium-rare, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salmon recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.
