Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a thick, evenly cut fillet with no brown spots or tears.
- Make sure the salmon is properly thawed before cooking. If it's frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before cooking the salmon. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium, so keep an eye on it while it's cooking.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.
