For quick weeknight meals, go for the broiler. It preheats in a flash and acts like an upside-down grill, bringing salmon and veggies to perfect doneness in just 10 minutes. Don't sweat it if you slightly overcook the salmon. Serve it with a luscious dipping sauce, or drizzle a bit of olive oil over top to bring back instant moisture. This basic salmon recipe is even better when served with a creamy Greek yogurt sauce and a side of quickly steamed or broiled broccolini. When it comes to fast weeknight dinners, simple is best.

1 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 lemon)
