Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is about 1-inch thick and has a deep pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a lot of white streaks.
Roast the salmon at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin and a tender, juicy interior.
Season the salmon simply. A few simple herbs and spices are all you need to create a delicious dish.
Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it is cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
