How to Bake Salmon
Baking salmon is an easy way to get a delicious meal on the table. The key is to keep track of the salmon's cooking time and not to overcook it. Here's how to make the perfect baked salmon:
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the salmon fillet and pat it dry.
- Sprinkle the salmon lightly with olive oil, salt, pepper, and other seasonings of your choice, such as lemon juice, garlic, or herbs.
- Place the salmon in a greased pan and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.
- Check the salmon periodically to make sure it isn't overcooking. When the fish flakes easily with a fork, it's done.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the salmon cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked baked salmon!
