How to Make It
1. Step
Combine butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add salmon pieces and toss to coat well. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2. Step
Preheat broiler to high.
3. Step
Place the salmon pieces on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade from the bowl over the salmon. (If the butter has solidified, microwave for 3 to 5 seconds to warm.) Broil the salmon 4 inches from the heat source until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired.
