Notes
Top Tips:
-
- Invest in an instant-read thermometer. This keeps you from over or under-cooking your dish.
-
- Salmon is done baking when the internal temperature reaches 145 ℉, measured in the thickest part of the salmon fillet. Another way to tell if your salmon has finished baking is to gently press down on the top of the fillet with a fork. If the flesh of the salmon begins to flake, it is all done.
- To preserve the shelf life of your baked salmon, allow it to come to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Once it has reached room temperature, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to four days.
