  • Wild Sockeye Salmon
  • Neutral oil or olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • Optional: lemon wedges
  • Optional: fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives)
  • Baking sheet or oven-safe baking dish
  • Parchment paper or lightly oiled surface (optional)
  • Paper towels
  • Fish spatula or tongs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
  2. Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels.
  3. Lightly coat with oil and season with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  4. Place salmon skin-side down on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
  5. Bake for 8–12 minutes depending on thickness (about 8–10 minutes per inch guideline).
  6. Check for doneness — salmon should flake easily while remaining slightly translucent in the center.
  7. Remove when internal temperature reaches 120–125°F (49–52°C).
  8. Rest briefly; residual heat will finish cooking.
