I came up with this when I was trying to find a way to get my husband to eat fish. And it worked! It is very simple and is great with a side of vegetables and rice.

Lemon-Pepper Salmon II

(4 salmon

butter, melted

soy sauce

lemon pepper

Preheat the oven broiler. Lightly grease a baking sheet.


Place salmon on the baking sheet. Mix the melted butter and soy sauce in a small bowl, and brush over the salmon. Sprinkle salmon with lemon pepper.


Broil salmon 6 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness, or until easily flaked with a fork.


Read someone's review about frozen salmon and baking it on 450 for 15 min and broil for 3. Turned out perfect. Thank you. I struggled with broiling frozen fish before. For the first time it turned out great.

i made this in the oven, 400 degrees for 20 minutes, covered w/foil. excellent! very juicy and sweet! a big hit with some very fussy men.

Glorious! I used a filet of salmon instead of the steaks but it worked out very well. The melted butter and soy sauce form a crust over the top with the seasonings, and paired with the tender salmon it's just mouth-watering.

I added about a tablespoon of brown sugar that really added to the flavor yet it kept it very simple.

This is so easy, yet so delicious. On the advise of others, I baked, covered, in oven until fish was done. Just as good heated up the next day. Thanks!

An incredibly easy, delicious meal. I don't like lemon pepper so I used Mrs Dash salt free garlic/herb seas mix. I baked it at 350 for 20 min &amp; it was wonderful! Very quick &amp; flavorful. Thanks for sharing!

This was very good and  really quick and easy to prepare.  I prepared it exactly as shown.  Next time I would make a couple changes: I would use a broiling pan rather than a baking sheet, I would baste and sprinkle one side, broil for 4 minutes, turn it over, baste and sprinkle the other side, broil for 4 more.  This worked very well with my gas broiler - I will definitely make again.

Awesome... I lined a cookie sheet with tin foil brushed it with olive oil. I layed the fillets skin side down. I brushed the butter and soy sauce on and sprinkled with lemon pepper then covered and baked @ 400 for 25min. Then i uncoverd and broiled for 5 more min and basted the salmon with the left over butter and soy sauce... very flavorful and juicy tender!

Made this for the wife last night.  I used brummel and brown yogurt spread stuff instead of butter, and low sodium Kikkoman soy sauce.  I tasted the butter/soy sauce combo (I TATSE EVERYTHING!) before applying it to the salmon, it really was delicious.  

No need to brush the sauce onto the salmon, it's not thick like BBQ sauce.  You can just pour it on.  It's gonna run off anyhow.  

I coated the fish with lemon pepper, maybe i should have just lightly sprinkled.

The recipe doesn't mention any flipping, so being a man obsessed with computers, photography and not cooking, I naturally didn't flip it either.  It began to get black on the top after about 5 minutesin the broiler.  I told my wife, and she asked me when I flipped it.  HAHAHA So i flipped it.

The blackened portion was actually tasty, the lemon pepper was lemony, and i enjoyed the fish.  However, it came out of the pan with all kinds of unattractive blackness on it, and it was on the greasy side.

I'm gonna try it again, changing the following:
Unsalted butter instead of brummel
less lemon pepper
A dash of olive oil added to the butter/soy mix before applying to fish

I used frozen salmon filets so instead of broiling it, I baked it from frozen according to package instructions.  (450F for 20 minutes....I actually just baked it for 15 minutes then broiled for 3) This was really good.  Even my youngest ds who hates fish was able to eat it.  I'll certainly make it again.

I have been using allrecipes.com for several years and have enjoyed many many recipes, but this is the first review I have ever written.  This salmon was the best I have ever made.  My family said so.  I didn't change a thing.  Served it with a 6 bean salad and fried potatoes.  I will make this often. Thank You

INCREDIBLE and juicy. I baked for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

I somehow wasn't expecting much from this recipe despite the good reviews, but I was wrong.  This is one of those recipes where a few simple ingredients elevate a good piece of fish into something special.  

I was tempted to bake instead of broil but decided to follow the instructions.  I'm glad I did since it resulted in little crispy brown edges that were amazing.  I basted the fish with the remaining butter/soy mixture several times which gave the fish a beautiful rich color along with more flavor.

Timing was a little difficult since I had one large fillet that was uneven in thickness.  When the thinner sections were done, I simply turned off the broiler and left the fish in the oven for another 5 minutes.  It came out juicy and perfect throughout.

I'll be making this often!

This was so easy and so full of flavor.  You really get a lot of bang for your buck with this recipe: short time commitment, but great results.  Delicious!

This was a very delicious and simple recipe!  I baked it in the oven for 30 min at 350, and it came out very tasty and moist.  I will definitely make this again.

This was very good!  I just substituted canola oil because of my personal diet and preferences.  Also, used Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper due to salt restrictions.  Yum!  Thanks for sharing!

This was awesome..I don't usually like salmon but my husband convinced me to find a recipe and make it for him. I used the same amount of butter/soy sauce but for only two fillets and baked them covered with foil in a 9x13 pan on 400 for 25 mins. I'll be making this again soon :)

This salmon turned out very nicely.  I did not have lemon pepper seasoning so I added fresh ground pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice.  I didnt find that the flavor of the soy sauce stood out at all, but I think that added a sweetness to the final taste.  I baked it at 350 for 20 minutes covered, then 5 minutes uncovered.

Yes, incredibly simple but incredibly lovely as well!  I tried it by broiling and decided that wasn't going to work too well . . .so after about 6 or so minutes of broiling I switched to 400, baked it for 10 mins, then flipped and baked for another 5, then broiled for another 3 minutes or so.  That worked perfectly, so I'd suggest baking, broiling, flipping, then baking and broiling again.  Lovely flavor, especially since I brushed the olive oil and soy sauce on both sides, as well as used lemon pepper on both sides.  Thanks for the recipe!

I use a 1-lb Atlantic salmon fillet, and broiled it on high for 6 minutes -- fantastic! Simple, flavorful recipe. I had about a quarter of the fillet -- my boyfriend ate the rest!

Covered and baked...perfect with Fast and Easy Spinach also on this site.

I'm impressed.  I thought that this recipe would be too simple and bland.  Surprise!  It was one of the best salmon recipes I've ever made.  I loved every single bite of it.

Broiled it as instructed but it didn't work as well as I hoped. Will bake next time as other reviewers suggested.

I made this last night for our anniversary dinner. I'm not really a fan of fish, but this was SO GOOD. The only slight problem I had though was, since I was using frozen fish as soon as I started brushing the mixture on the butter hardened back up! It was nearly impossible, so I just spread some of the mix on top of the fish and wrapped them in tin foil and baked them for 15 minutes. The butter mixture melted and stayed right where it should be and all was well. Broiled for a few minutes on each side and PERFECTION. I also didn't have any lemon pepper so I used regular pepper and lemon juice.   Sheesh.. I'm rambling. Verdict: Will definitely be making this again and again. YUM!

I'm not usually one to leave a review, but I felt this one necessary!  We love fish, but I rarely venture to baste it with anything aside from seasonings.  My husband loves the way I cook our fish and I don't think he would've ever suggested I change what I'm doing, but his comment to me last night was "this is the best fish you've every cooked!"  I cannot take credit from where credit is due, so THANK YOU for a super simple, yummy concoction!  We are a VERY busy family and making dinner is sometimes a rush for us, but it just doesn't get any easier than this!  **added 9/29/09** have since made this a couple other times and this last time I made it, I thought to add 1 tsp. of honey to the butter/soy sauce.  I probably would add even a little more next time, but the hint of sweet was ideal with the soy/butter!!

Sounds wonderful, would like to know how much lemon pepper to use. Like that it's 20.2 of protein and 0.9 of carbs for us diabetics.....Excellent!

sprinkle extra soy sauce and eat with some wasabi and it is outstanding

I have made this recipe several times, and it is a very simple dish to make as well as being very flavorful and delicious.

Have made it twice now, but cooked it on the grill.  I can't say enough about how EASY and DELICIOUS this recipe is!  My two-year-old gobbled it up too!  We used thawed frozen salmon fillets, FRESH lemon and freshly ground pepper and it was outstanding.  We are about to move to a location where we can get great quality fresh fish daily...and we can't wait to try it on good quality fresh salmon!  UPDATE (9/19/12):  We tried this recipe cooked as written (broiled) using fresh fish and, I have to be honest...it was not nearly as yummy to our taste buds.  We Will definitely stick with using fresh fish now that we are on the coast, but will probably only grill it.  We grill it using instructions from another website, but here is the gist of it: 
Use the indirect grilling method with a medium hot grill.
    Grill fish 3-4-inches from heat.
    Place salmon steak/fillet skin side up directly on the grill grate.
    Grill the steaks/fillets for a total of 4-6 minutes (2-3 minutes per side) per ½ inch thickness, turning only once. 
Salmon continues to cook after being removed from the grill. Cook salmon until the meat begins to change color and becomes flaky. To check the flakiness, insert the tip of a sharp knife near the bone or at the thickest part of the salmon and pull slightly. Well done salmon appears opaque and will flake easily.
Thanks for sharing this recipe Chanelle, you sure do have a winner here!

I did as some reviewers suggested and baked it on a foil lined baking sheet at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. I also sprinkled a tiny bit of brown sugar over each fillet (maybe a teaspoon) along with the lemon pepper seasoning. It was really moist and delicious. 

So easy and delicious.  My only substitution was Mrs. Dash instead of  lemon pepper.  I'm sure it is just as good with lemon pepper, but hubby has to watch his sodium intake and with the soy sauce, I tried to reduce the sodium as much as possible.  SO good ... SO moist ... SO flavorful!  Simply outstanding.

I used some teriaki marinade and brown mustard with the other ingredients. Tasted pretty good!

Salmon being my favorite fish I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. Very delicious. I like mine rare almost raw so just cooked it for 8 minutes in oven under 400 degrees.  Added slices of lemon to cover the steaks as well.

Every time we tried to cook salmon it always came out dry. We were a little hesitant with just the 8 minute broil, but it came out cooked thoroughly and succulent. We added a little more (salted) butter and less soy sauce. We brushed the HOT butter and soy sauce mixture on the salmon, which I think it braised the salmon just a little, trapping all the juices and flavor inside. The prep time was more like 2 minutes and broiled for 7 minutes. A meal ready in less than 10 minutes if you do not count the pre-heating the oven part of it. We pre-heated the oven to 400 degrees by broiler only. Did not burn like some of the other reviews. The butter/soy mixture left a slight caramelized coating on the salmon. Definitely a recipe we will do again. Maybe we’ll try to add some brown sugar next time?

Not bad. It was very flavorful. Not my favorite recipe but one that I will do again.

This recipe was absolutely delicious!  My boyfriend and I tried it out the last night, and it was a definite winner.  We made a few adjustments to the baste and broiling method as was suggested by others.  We added 1 tsp of brown sugar, chopped parsley,and a dash of olive oil to help thicken the baste so it clung to fillet better.  We applied the baste to one side and sprinkled on the lemon-pepper, broiled for four minutes and turned the fillets over (with a spatula, preferably due to the tendency of the fillet to break apart).  Basted the other side, sprinkled evenly with lemon-pepper and cooked for the remaining four minutes.  Which helped a lot with the "burning" that was mentioned in some other reviews.

It was a definite success.  Very easy, very quick, yet it seems so upscale.  Thinking of making this for my Father and Brothers when they come home from vacation.

Great recipe. Easy, fast, and delicious; we make it all the time!

Loved it!  I followed the suggestion to cook frozen filets at 400 for 20 minutes and then 5 minutes on broil. This recipe will come in handy on those days when I forget to take something out of the freezer.    

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!  This has become one of my favorites.  If you haven't tried it, you need to!!

So easy and quick!  The flavor was great and both of my picky kids loved it....so that makes it a winner!  I baked it at 350 (covered with foil) for 20-25 minutes.  Thanks for the post!

Quick &amp; tasty! This recipe is great.  Thanks!

My son LOVES salmon, but hasn't been thrilled with the ways I've been cooking it.  He LOVED this recipe, and I just cooked it at 350 F for 20 min. covered with foil, then another 5 uncovered.  PERFECT!!!

Very good!  I took the advice of one poster and added brown sugar...(my husband has a sweet tooth)...he makes a face when I say I'm making salmon and he REALLY liked this!!!!!  My 4 year old daughter liked it a lot too!  Thanks for sharing!

So simple, perfect for a busy work week. I squeezed a bit of fresh lemon juice just b/c I had some lying around, thought it gave it a little fresh kick!

This was a pretty good recipe for someone who doesn't like fish. the soy sauce is a good flavor.

We were pretty disappointed with this one - it didn't seem to have much flavor. 

terrific. It came out so juicy. I baked mine for 20 min, covered w/ tinfoil at 350.  it's a keeper.

I have never been a fan of fish but this was quick easy and tasty. We only keep  low sodium soy sauce which was good because I only had lemon pepper salt seasoning. I didnt need to use the entire sauce. I did season both sides

I have made this several times now, and I would definitely opt for cooking the salmon in foil in a 425 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes over broiling it with no foil for 6 to 8 minutes; the former way really seals in the flavor and juices better.

I really liked this - it was easy and tasty. Will make again!

This was very tasty!  Simple with just three ingredients, too!  I used this brush/sprinkle on amber jack fillets and they turned out wonderful.  I even sauteed some fresh mushrooms and accented them with more lemon pepper seasoning!  YUMMO!!  :-)

Loved this recipe!  I used a liberal amount of lemon pepper and it was perfect.  The glaze soaks in so nicely under the broiler and the fish turns out flakey, tender and wonderful!

So delicious! I grilled the fillets in foil instead of broiling, and they were amazing. The soy sauce and lemon pepper were excellent together.

Excellent recipe- easy, simple, tasty. I tried the suggestion posted to cover with foil and bake at 400 for 20mins. Will be making this again but might leave uncovered for the last 10 mins.

This was great! Not too salty and not too spicy. I grilled this on my stove top grill and it really gave it a nice crunch.

Interesting flavor combination. I used I Can't Believe Its Not Butter light and mixed with the reduced sodium soy sauce until it was of runny paste consistency then put it on the salmon. This was a bit salty for us (and our blend of lemon pepper seasoning doesn't have a lot of salt). We will have again but cut the soy sauce a bit. UPDATE: we had this tonight grilled and it was fantastic, much better than when baked.  I reduced the soy sauce to 1 tablespoon of the regular stuff and added about 1 teaspoon or so of lemon pepper seasoning.  The flavors really popped on the grill.  Served it with chive smashed red potatoes and grilled zucchini and everyone was very happy.

I used this recipe when I made salmon for the first time, and, despite my errors, it came out great.  I thought I knew more about how to cook salmon than the recipe did, so I was cooking it on low, and after 20 minutes, the salmon was fit for sushi.  So, I turned the temperature up to medium (as the recipe suggests), and then it started cooking!  The butter started burning in the pan, but it ended up coating the salmon and blackening it, which we actually ended up loving!  The second time I made it, I kept the temperature at medium, but flipped the salmon a couple times, letting the butter burn onto the fish.  Maybe not how the recipe intended it to turn out, but we think it tastes great like that.  The lemon pepper adds a great kick to it, so I make sure to apply it liberally.

So easy and quick! Yet the flavor is still good! I made it with rice and veggies. Thanks for this recipe.

I followed other suggestions to bake at 350, add brown sugar and cover with foil. It came out very moist and delicious.

great! I will use this recipe from now on when making salmon.

My husband's exact words were... "Baby, this fish is excellent!!"  Yay!  I too thought it was very good and very simple.  Only thing I did differently was to bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 350.

So simple, but oh sooo good! Im keeping salmon in the house, just for this recipe!!

Excellent recipe. Got rave reviews the first time I cooked it :)

We really liked but I think I would like a little more flavor next time.  I baked in the oven instead broiling. Thanks

This was perfect, it really brought out the flavor of the salmon instead of covering it up.  I will use this again for sure!  Thank You

Easy recipe, good for an easy way to make salmon differently.

My boyfriend claimed this was the best salmon he'd ever tasted! I broiled a whole salmon for about 15 minutes on the Low broil setting on my oven, just until the thickest part of the salmon was firm to the touch. It was great! very juicy and flavorful.

I also added some brown sugar and broiled for 8 mins exactly. This was the best salmon I've ever had and my husband said he doesn't want it any other way now! Definitely a keeper!!!

will not be making this again, and I usually like salmon with lemon juice and pepper.

I made this just before Easter and it ended up looking like MissZee_22's picture, so thats one sign that I did it right. The other sign is that no one could put the fork down till the salmon was gone. Awesome, simple, and quick recipe even for guys like me who have little patience when I'm hungry. And thankfully no obscure and expensive ingredients needed when the salmon alone costs alot.

Pretty good.  Nice and very easy to make.  I marinated it with store-bought marinade for a couple days and used salmon filet instead of salmon steak, but other than that I made it exactly the way the recipe called for.  Nice with steamed vegetables.

The only thing I'd change is the cooking time.  It wasn't cold, but it wasn't hot either, so I put in back in the oven and baked it some more (on top of initially broiling it).

Love this fish!  Don't think I will broil next time though, I had it on lower as not to burn and then it took longer to cook and it was too hard to judge time.  Next time I will grill or just bake it.

Good recipe--easy to fix, easy to remember, and, of course, you can substitute whatever seasonings you wish.

Very tastey!!!  This has become my favorite way to prepare salmon!!!

Pretty good with minimal effort. It is a good flavor when you are short on ingredients and time!

Giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because the cooking time was a bit off for me.  Didn't use particularly thick salmon filets but even at 8 min in the broiler, bottom was still rather on the rare side.  10 min and it would have been perfect.  That being said I made the sauce mix (double the amount) and used it as a marinade as well.  Added it to the filets &amp; let soak for about 2 hrs.  Then added the lemon pepper &amp; broiled.  I'm not a salmon fan, but the hubby is and he said it was delicious.  It smelled really good cooking as well.

Very good!  Followed the recipe exactly and grilled the salmon on a piece of foil sprayed with Pam.  Fiance and son loved it!

This turned out really nice!  It was simple and tasty.  Though, we thought next time we'll try the longer time a lower temperature, because we had one thick piece of salmon that just refused to cook through.  I think it took about 15 minutes rather than the recommended 8.

I've been meaning to reviews this recipe for ages but I'm only getting around to it now. Wow! Absolutely delicious! The only thing I had to do a little differently was add lemon juice and fresh pepper because I didn't have any lemon pepper seasoning. I don't think it makes a big enough difference to render my review pointless:) My husband isn't crazy about salmon and really only likes it blackened, so he was very unimpressed when I said I had cooked it differently. Well, he absolutely raved about this:) I didn't want to broil it so I did what someone else suggested and cooked it in the oven for 18-20 mins at 400. They were very thick pieces, though, and cooking time could probably be reduced for thinner pieces.
One tip I would give others, since the sauce is so thin and completely runs off the fish, is to keep it face down in the sauce for about 30 mins or so before you cook it. I always feel it lets the flavor soak in more.

Excellent, simple, quick recipe. It's now in the regular rotation:)

This salmon was moist and very tasty.  I probably would have given it 5 stars because my 5-year old and I really enjoyed it, but my husband was only so-so on it.  (although he doesn't much care for salmon anyway).  I had frozen salmon fillets, so I followed other reviewers suggestion for baking it at 425 for approx. 15 minutes, then broil it for a few more minutes.  It never dried out, as frozen salmon sometimes does in the oven.  Delish!

We made this with fillets, baked at 350 for 20 minutes and it was devoured quickly!  My toddler ate her entire portion and asked for more.  We will definitely make this again.  I may play a bit to get some flavor deeper into the fish.  I think doing a light marinade for a short time would help. Also adding a bit of orange juice to it might tweak the flavor some.  Over all it was a huge hut!

YUM!  What incredible flavor from so few ingredients! I added some brown sugar as per previous reviews, and it forned a nice glaze.  Disappeared quickly!

Not too bad. I followed directions exactly. Came out pretty good, will become my usual recipe for salmon. :)

wonderful, delicious, quick, and easy. i lined my pan with foil and clean up was a cinch! my husband even loved it!

My husband said it has an interesting flavor but very good!! I used the conventional oven and baked it at 400 degrees, and following the suggestion of someone who reviewed the recipe, I created a pouch w/ foil. I had to bake for over 30 minutes because of the thickness of the salmon. Smelled great!

There MIGHT be a way to make this easier, but I doubt it. A lot of tasty for a little effort.

I did not have lemon pepper so I used 1/2 a lemon squeezed, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. I also wraped the fish in foil before baking it. My husband and I loved this fish. My husband usually complains when I make fish, but all he had about this recipe were compliments.

Me and my husband LOVED this. The only thing I changed was that I marinated the fish in the cooled down butter, soy sauce and seasoned with the lemon pepper for 1 hour. Only cause I had extra time. Popped it in the oven @ 350 degrees covered in foil for 15-18 minutes, mouth watering!

Tried it with fresh caught steelhead fillets. We don't have a lot of fish eaters in the family, but they devoured it. Followed the recipe as written, and baked at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. Came out perfect.

I have made this twice now.  My whole family (kids too) loved it.  I used a large fillet of salmon with the skin still on one side.  I made a foil boat and placed the salmon on it and grilled at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, skin side down on the foil. It was perfect.

So easy, so tasty, and so good for you!  The only change I made was I used a squeeze of lemon with the butter and soy as I was out of lemon pepper.  Also I broiled the salmon in a toaster oven - didn't need to heat up the kitchen on a very hot day...

Mammy-do!  That is so seriously delicious salmon

The taste of the fish wasn't good but not great. I'm giving this only 3 stars though, because broiling this marinade filled the whole house with smoke, resulting in having to open windows in January...

Very good for a VERY fast recipe. I cooked outside on the grill, over medium coals, on some aluminum foil spayed with Pam. I don't like the smell of fish in the house, but I love the end product!

If I could rate this a 4&amp;1/2 I would. Very good and the best thing about it, it was very simple. I actually used a 16 oz. fillet rather than the 4 (4 oz.). It just took a little longer to cook (about 11 minutes). Other than that, I followed the instructions exactly. Oh and the reason it's not a five: my hubby rated it a 4 and my two year old wasn't impressed - but I loved it!
