Notes
*Nutritional facts provided are only an estimate, accuracy is not guaranteed.
Prior to cooking, take the salmon out of the refrigerator and let it sit for about 15 minutes to let it get to room temperature before baking. This will allow the fish to cook more evenly.
Cooking time will vary based on the thickness and how “done” you want your salmon. Thicker cuts will require more time. A good rule of thumb is 4 to 6 minutes of cooking time per ½ inch of thickness.
Keep the skin on. This will help keep the moisture in, and the fish will cook more evenly without over drying. Once cooked, you can easily flake the meat off of the skin.
