Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets 3–4 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • parchment paper or nonstick spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle the fillets with the olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the tops.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Remove from the oven and let rest 1–2 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use fillets of similar thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Cooking time varies by thickness; longer for thicker fillets.
  • Patting salmon dry helps the oil and seasoning adhere.
