Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds salmon fillets 1-inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
  • lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  • Remove the salmon from the fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking to let it approach room temperature for even cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Pat dry the salmon with paper towels. Then place it skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. If there are any thin sections, tuck them underneath to prevent overcooking.
  • Brush the top and sides of the salmon with oil. Then sprinkle salt and pepper on top.
  • Fold the aluminum foil over the salmon and cover it completely. Leave a small room inside of the foil for the air to circulate.
  • Baked to desired doneness, or about 12-18 minutes at 350°F. It’s done when the fish is slightly springy in the thickest section and the internal temperature reaches 135-140°F.
  • Remove the skin if desired and sprinkle fresh lemon juice on top to serve.
