Cooking Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F with a rack placed in the middle. 
  2. Line a sheet pan with foil.
  3. Drizzle some oil over the top of each salmon — just enough to coat the salmon — and rub it over the salmon with your fingers or a pastry brush. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon on the sheet pan, skin-side down. Transfer to the oven.
  5. Roast for 4 to 6 minutes per half-inch thickness of salmon, at the thickest part of the filet. Salmon is done when easily flaked.
  6. Drizzle filet with a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.
