📝 Preparation Steps
1
Let salmon rest on the counter for ⏱️ 15-30 minutes, until they have (at least mostly) come to room temperature.
2
Heat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (or use an oven-proof non-stick skillet).
3
Blot the salmon filets dry on all sides with paper towels. Place the salmon skin-side-down the prepared baking sheet (or skillet). If the ends of the salmon filets are really thin, just tuck them under a bit for even cooking.
4
Brush the salmon on all sides (except the bottom) with oil. Sprinkle each filet with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper, along with any other dry seasonings you prefer.
5
Bake until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 135-140°F*, about ⏱️ 4-6 minutes per half inch of thickness (measured by the thickest part of the filet). You can also test for doneness by inserting a fork or knife in the salmon and twisting it a bit; the fish should be opaque and flake easily.
6
Remove pan from the oven and transfer the salmon to a clean serving plate, either with the skin or leaving the skin behind. Sprinkle each filet with a good squeeze of lemon juice, plus any extra fresh herbs or sauce that you prefer. Then serve warm and enjoy!
