- Choose the Right Salmon: Select fresh, wild-caught salmon fillets with vibrant color and firm texture. Avoid fillets that appear dull or have excessive moisture.
- Preheat Your Oven: Ensure your oven is adequately preheated to the specified temperature before placing the salmon fillets inside. This helps achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior.

- Don't Overcook: Salmon cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking. Overcooked salmon can become dry and tough.
- Use a Thermometer: To ensure perfectly cooked salmon, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fillet. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
