Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pat the salmon dry, then arrange in the center of the pan (if using portions, make sure they do not touch).
- Drizzle the salmon with the oil, then add seasonings of choice.
- Bake salmon at 400 degrees F for 11 to 14 minutes for 6-ounce fillets or 15 to 18 minutes for a single side, until it registers 135 degrees F on an instant read thermometer inserted at the thickest part of the salmon. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes. Serve warm with a sprinkle of herbs and squeeze of lemon as desired.
Notes
- TO STORE: Salmon is best enjoyed the day that it is made, but can last 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator. Make sure it does not smelly fish.
- TO REHEAT: Salmon dries out easily when reheated, so try it room temperature in a salad, add it to Homemade Fried Rice, scramble it with eggs, or use it to make Salmon Patties.
