How do you bake salmon?

If you want to bake salmon, all you need to do is follow these easy steps: First, you would need to have salmon fillets, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit with the rack placed in the middle of the oven. While waiting, you have to pat the salmon dry with a paper towel.

Don’t use any other drying method, because paper towel easily dries the salmon. Once done, rub both sides of the salmon with oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer the salmon in your oven-proof pan with its skin facing down and then transfer to the oven. Bake it for 4 to 6 minutes (4 minutes if you want it to be medium rare; 6 minutes if you want it to be fully cooked). Serve and enjoy!
