I am making this https://weelicious.com/2011/03/23/maple-soy-salmon/ (can I post link??) for dinner but do I have to use the broiler or just the oven ok? I have never used my broiler... :
ETA: the broiler is the thing on the bottom right? Oh gosh I feel dumb... rereading the recipe it doesn't sound that way though...

ok still confused. you two just said different things. LOL I have a gas oven w/ a little drawer at the bottom so THAT is the broiler? or do I just put the rack up high and cook it in the regular oven? See why I have never cooked fish before?? LOL
Does your drawer have a broiler pan in it? Since you have gas, that should be your broiler. I have electric, so it's just a storage drawer and I'd put things on the top rack.

Yes there is a little pan! SO I put the fish in there? (I apologize again for my ignorance... I feel so silly but I don't wanna jack this all up!)
Yep, that's your broiler, but I'd google a user manual for operating instructions. I vaguely remember my mom having to light things when she used the broiler.

See, I have gas and my broiler is still at the top. I have a drawer at the bottom, but it's not a broiler.
However, if you have a separate drawer with a pan in the bottom, that's where the broiler is.

make sure you have the top rack in the highest position.
Huh. I always use mine in the second highest. I think the rule of thumb is that you want the stuff getting broiled to end up between 4 and 6 inches away, but closer to 4. If I had mine on the highest position, it would be like 3 inches away.
ya I had mine on 2nd highest and it worked perfectly. Highest just seemed a little too close for my comfort! haha
