Tips:

Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a bright, vibrant color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a slimy texture.
Use a variety of herbs and citrus fruits to flavor the salmon. This will create a complex and delicious flavor profile. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, lemon, and orange.
Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, and it can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best when served fresh out of the oven. You can garnish the salmon with fresh herbs or citrus slices before serving.
