The sizzle of salmon under the broiler brings a cozy warmth that reminds me of summer evenings. That sweet cherry apple chutney—like a burst of autumn in every bite—adds a tangy twist that my taste buds can’t seem to get enough of. Who knew that such simple ingredients could make such a delightful chaos on the plate?
Steps
- Mix the first five ingredients to create the marinade and ensure they are well combined. Place the marinade in a resealable plastic bag.
- Add the salmon fillets to the bag with the marinade, remove excess air, and seal it tightly. Refrigerate for approximately one hour, flipping the bag occasionally to ensure even marination.
- Preheat your broiler to a high setting. Prepare a broiler pan by lining it with foil and lightly spraying it with oil.
- Position the salmon on the prepared pan and broil it on the second rack from the top for about 5 minutes on one side.
- Carefully take the salmon out of the broiler and turn it over. Spread the cherry apple chutney evenly over the top of the salmon.
- Return the salmon to the broiler and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until done, checking for firmness with a spatula handle. Serve the salmon immediately after removing from the broiler.

Tips
- Marinade Preparation: Ensure the marinade is well-blended before adding the salmon. This helps to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the fish.
- Marinating Tip: While marinating, turn the salmon occasionally to allow for even absorption of the flavors from the marinade.
- Broiling Technique: To avoid sticking, line your broiler pan with tin foil and lightly spray with oil before placing the salmon on it.
- Cooking Check: Press the salmon gently with the back of a spatula to check for doneness. It should feel firm, not spongy, indicating it’s cooked through.
Equipment
- Broiler pan – A specialized pan designed to be used under the broiler for cooking.
