Notes
- Rinse the salmon in cold water and use a paper towel to pat it dry.
- Always check for hidden pin bones and remove them appropriately using tweezers or a small pair of kitchen tongs.
- Preheat the oven to achieve the best results.
- Don't overcook the salmon. You want the top and bottom of the fish to be cooked through but not dry. The middle should still have a little bit of moisture. 12 minutes is the sweet spot for the size of the fillets.
- Serve immediately. Once cooked, the salmon tends to dry out quickly.
