Note
Watch the salmon closely under the broiler, as cooking times can vary based on the thickness of the steaks and your oven's broiler intensity. The goal is to brown the topping without burning it.
For a gluten-free version, substitute the fine dry bread crumbs with gluten-free panko or almond flour.
If you prefer a fresher herb flavor, you can use fresh dill instead of dried, but increase the amount to about 1 tablespoon.
Salmon steaks should be patted dry before placing on the broiler pan to ensure better browning.
