hoping someone here has cooked salmon under a broiler before

fancy. and i hope you figure it out. buddy and nameraka got you. 

but...if you do it in the oven. 

400. for about 12 minutes. no need to turn. 

lightly greased pan, salt pepper.

honestly i just kind of eyeball it. 

usually like 3-4 minutes per side. 

sometimes i cook the skin side a bit longer to get it extra crispy.

Every recipe I see starts with "turn broiler on"

Well, my broiler either is on low or high, there is no just on, or medium for that matter

Also recipes say to have the broiler on with a cast iron skillet six inches from the heat source and not having to turn the salmon cuz the hot skillet will cook the underside

My recommendation for salmon:

Do NOT broil it. It overlooks/burns way too easy, dries out the fish, kills flavor, and is at uncontrollable high heat.

Grill, sauté, or pan-sear it. Better flavor and easier cooking that way.

Here is one of Gordon Ramsay’s methods.

Here is a method by the Food Network.

If you are just learning, I would recommend Food Network, or Tasty’s methods, as they are more accessible and use a lemon butter baste/sauté, which people tend to like.

It only takes about 7 minutes, tops.

Ramsay is basically a poached version, which requires more skill and control.

okay. that's actually kind of odd.

my broiler is just on or off. (as is the case with every oven i've ever owned)

on is 500 degrees. i have no idea what high or low would be temp-wise 

six inches from the heat source is pretty standard though.
