2 teaspoons canola oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 pound salmon filet
Salt and pepper to season the salmon (optional)
1. Preheat oven to broil. Line a baking dish that fits the salmon filet as closely as possible, with foil. Coat the foil with canola cooking spray.
