How to Make Broiled Salmon With Garlic Sauce

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  4. Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is slightly thickened.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of evaporated milk, a little at a time, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon of dry sherry (optional) and simmer for 1 minute.
  7. If needed, whisk in 1/4 cup of low-fat milk to achieve a creamy consistency.
  8. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Set the sauce aside.
  10. Lightly spray a small broiling pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  11. Place salmon fillets (about 6 ounces per fillet) in the prepared pan.
  12. Season the salmon lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  13. Dot each salmon fillet with 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
  14. Broil for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook!
  15. Serve the salmon immediately, generously drizzled with the creamy garlic sauce.
