oven baked-

Though grilling salmon produces wonderful results as does pan searing it, oven baked salmon is just as good. The fish turns out juicy and flakey and it’s a pretty fool-proof method to preparing the fish.

how long do you cook salmon?

If the fillets are cut into pieces, the thickness of the fillet may slightly add or reduce cook time but for the most part, is baked in 12-15 minutes. If a fillet is baked, 15-18 minutes may be needed, depending on what the salmon is topped with and the thickness of the fillet.

salmon cooking temperature?

Salmon is usually baked in the oven at 400°F-450°F. Baking it at high heat cooks the fillet quickly allowing the salmon to retain its juices inside. If salmon is overbaked, it will become dry and lose its flavors.

I hope this quickrecipe will become a family favorite. Our kids love the cheesy topping with Ranch on the salmon and hope yours will too.
