Notes
Salmon is one of the easiest things you can make! And the best way to make it is to just put it on the pan and bake it. If you are new to baking salmon, I have a few tips for you.
It only takes about 20 minutes to bake salmon. If it is thicker, it will need to cook it a little longer, or you can just leave it on the pan after you take it out of the oven and it will continue to cook on the pan.
If you aren’t sure if it is done, just cut the thickest part open a little bit. You want it to be a light colored pink. If it is dark pink in the middle, you will want to cook it for a few more minutes!
If the salmon has skin, you can leave the skin on! But I would HIGHLY suggest putting down some foil on your pan, then putting your salmon right on top of it! It makes clean-up so much easier!
