Easy Way to Cook King Salmon in 15 Minutes
(From H & H Fish Company website)
This is a great recipe that takes less than 15 minutes to make from start to finish, and only requires a handful of ingredients – your king salmon, seasoning like salt and pepper, garlic if it suits, and your favorite oil. We recommend around 1/2 lb serving per person, so arrange your salmon portions accordingly for baking.
Preparation and Baking:
To help with even cooking, let your fresh salmon fillets rest on the counter for about 15 minutes, then blot them dry.
Set the oven to 450°F as you prep the fillets.
Put the salmon fillets skin side down on a foil-covered baking sheet, brush all sides with oil (except skin), and season with salt, pepper, and dry herbs.
Bake at 450°F for around 4-6 minutes per half-inch of thickness. The simple fork-test method works as well to check for flakiness and opaque flesh.
Once baked, remove from oven, transfer to a clean serving plate, squeeze a bit of lemon, and dress with other fresh herbs over the top, and voilá! An easy delicious meal for the family to enjoy!
