Learn how to cook a salmon fillet by following this step-by-step video cooking lesson. Salmon is an excellent source of lean protein and other healthy nutrients. The key to cooking the perfect piece of salmon is to get a quality piece of salmon, with the bones removed. When cooking the salmon, try to avoid overcooking, which is easily done by picking up the salmon on a plate or with tongs and serving it up.
Bake it in the oven
It’s so easy to cook a piece of salmon in the oven. You just have to preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook it for 12 to 15 minutes. You can cook it in the oven for as long as 15 minutes and you can cook it for as long as it takes for the fish to be cooked. It doesn’t matter how big or small the piece of fish is. It should be cooked just right, so that it’s still moist but not raw. If you overcook the fish, it’s dry.
Finish it off
So you’ve sliced off the filet and cleaned the salmon. Now, it’s time to finish it off. First, prepare the pan. Lay the salmon in the pan and cook over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes. Now you’re ready to serve. Garnish with the lemon slices and serve with mashed potatoes, wild rice, a mixed green salad or other side dishes.
Bring it to the table
Slicing a piece of salmon is a delicate task. Always cut salmon the same way. Cut the salmon into thick slices. Never slice the salmon in the middle and then add slices at the edges. This can cause the salmon to leak. When slicing the salmon, put the blade of the knife at a slight angle. This will help to keep the fat from dripping on the plate. Keep the salmon on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. This will keep the salmon fresh for up to three days. To cook the salmon, put it in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. If the salmon is medium rare, turn the oven to broil and cook for five minutes. To serve, spread the salmon with a sprinkle of chives.
Canned or fresh
The easiest way to cook a piece of salmon is to bake it in the oven. This is easy and fast, and is suitable for all types of salmon. You can prepare it with sweet and tart flavors, such as lemon and dill. For a quick and easy bake, you can make a foil-covered pan in the oven and place the salmon in the middle. For a deliciously juicy bake, you can sprinkle some olive oil on the salmon, cover it with parchment paper and bake it for 15 to 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook it in the microwave for about 3 minutes on full power.
Break it down
When it comes to cooking a piece of salmon, the first thing you should do is break down the pieces into smaller pieces. This way, you will have more surface area to brown. Once you have broken down the pieces, put them in a non-stick pan. For this step, you want to cook them in the pan using medium-high heat. Place the salmon pieces directly in the pan, but don’t overcrowd it. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the pieces are cooked through and golden brown. Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside.
