  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place salmon, skin-side down in a well-greased baking dish large enough to hold the fillets without touching. 2. Squeeze lemon juice over salmon, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes. 3. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Doneness Test: Salmon is cooked through when no longer red.
  • Dress It Up: Spoon about 1 table- spoon sauce or glaze of your choice over each fillet before baking.
