How Do You Cook Salmon?

For the best result, choose salmon pieces that are close to the same thickness. Even thickness helps the fish cook at the same rate, so one piece does not dry out while another is still undercooked.

A helpful guide is to bake salmon for about 5 to 6 minutes for every half inch of thickness. The recommended internal temperature is 145 degrees F, measured at the thickest part of the salmon. Since ovens and salmon thickness can vary, checking the internal temperature is the safest way to know when it is done. Properly cooked salmon should be tender, moist, and easy to flake with a fork.
