  • Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the marinade and seasonings adhere to the fish.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the skin side of the salmon fillets. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from curling up.
  • Marinate the salmon fillets for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will help the fish absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the salmon. This will help the fish cook evenly.
  • Bake the salmon fillets for 12-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the salmon fillets immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, rice, and salad.
