Ingredients

  • salmon filets
  • citrus dill rub

Instructions

  • So if you've read all the above tips, I feel I can entrust you with my go-to, perfect every time salmon-cooking method.
  • Start with filets cut into sections that are approximately 2 1/2 inches to 3 inches wide, and between 4 - 6 inches long. This is the standard size filet you can buy at most seafood counters.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a cooking pan with aluminum foil.
  • Lay salmon filets on the pan, skin side down.
  • Apply a citrus and brown sugar rub (see below) to the top of the fish.
  • Once the oven is preheated, put the salmon in and let cook for fifteen minutes.
  • Remove from oven and slide a spatula between the salmon and the skin to remove salmon from the pan. This keeps the skin on the aluminum foil where it can be tossed in the trash, and gives you a nice, clean filet to serve.
  • Place on plate and serve immediately. Enjoy!
