The bake time and temperature for salmon can vary depending on the thickness and size of the fillet, as well as your personal preference. However, here are some general guidelines:
Temperature:
* 350°F (175°C): This is a good temperature for a slow and even cook, especially for thicker fillets.
* 375°F (190°C): This is a popular choice for baking salmon, as it cooks the fish relatively quickly while still keeping it moist.
* 400°F (200°C): This higher temperature is suitable for thinner fillets or if you prefer a slightly more cooked texture.
* 450°F (232°C): This high temperature is ideal for searing the outside of the salmon while keeping the inside moist.
Time:
* General Rule: Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes per inch of thickness.
* Thinner Fillets (less than 1 inch): 10-12 minutes at 400°F (200°C) or 15-20 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
* Thicker Fillets (1 inch or more): 15-20 minutes at 375°F (190°C) or 20-25 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
Tips for Baking Salmon:
* Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure your salmon is cooked perfectly is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
* Don’t overcook: Salmon can become dry and tough if it’s overcooked. It’s better to slightly undercook it than to overcook it.
* Seasoning: Season your salmon with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you like.
* Cooking method: You can bake salmon in a variety of ways, such as in foil packets, on a baking sheet, or in a cast iron skillet.
