  5. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Grilled Salmon

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
  3. Place the salmon fillet on the grill, skin side down (if it has skin).
  4. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
  5. Flip the salmon over and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  6. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips and Variations

  • Make sure the salmon is at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan or grill, as this can cause the salmon to cook unevenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the salmon reaches a safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Try different seasonings and marinades, such as lemon juice, garlic, and dill, to add flavor to your salmon.
  • For a crispy crust, cook the salmon in a skillet with a small amount of oil and then finish it under the broiler for a few minutes.
  • For a healthier option, bake the salmon in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Overcooking the salmon, which can make it dry and tough.
  • Not cooking the salmon to a safe internal temperature, which can lead to foodborne illness.
  • Not patting the salmon dry with a paper towel before cooking, which can prevent the seasonings from sticking.

By following these tips and methods, you'll be well on your way to cooking delicious and moist salmon that's sure to please even the pickiest of eaters!
