Cooking salmon is a simple and quick dinner for everyone. However, there are lots of different ways to prepare this delicious fish, such as on the grill, pan-fried, poached and broiled. But the oven is a great tool to use to achieve different results that might suit you better.
What you need?
There are a number of tools and kitchen items you may need to cook salmon in the oven. You’ll need an oven that can handle the heat, an ovenproof bowl, a cast iron skillet, and some kind of fish fillet (not necessary). The size of the fillet depends on how big you want your dish to be. The more fish, the bigger the fillet. The easiest thing to do is to just cut the fillet in half. Other than that, you’ll also need a knife and cooking spray (don’t worry, the cooking spray is edible). You may want to use an oven thermometer to make sure the temperature is at the right point. A good rule of thumb is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
How to cook in oven with skin
You may be wondering, how can you cook a whole salmon in the oven? The answer is quite simple. Simply bake a whole salmon in the oven with a very thin layer of skin on. Cook it for about 25 minutes at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. You want to make sure the salmon is flaked in half after it’s finished cooking. You’ll notice that the skin will naturally get crispy when it cooks. This is because the layers are very thin. But this is a good thing as it’s the best way to cook salmon. If you’re worried about burning the skin, then you should make sure you choose a thinner layer of skin. You can usually find it on the thicker parts of the fish.
Place the fish
You can buy a fish filet and use it as a direct substitute for salmon. It’s usually labeled as such. But for salmon, the head and tail will be attached, so you’ll need to remove them. If you don’t remove the head and tail, the cavity will keep the fish together. After you remove them, season the fish with salt and pepper.
Getting home-made salmon
Can you cook salmon in the oven? No, but I am happy to share this trick with you. The best place to start is by adding a salmon fillet to the oven. Add some olive oil and some salt and pepper to a parchment paper. Then, cut a cross-section in the salmon, then spread the salmon pieces on the paper. Place the salmon in the oven and set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for around 15 minutes. This will cause the fillet to get a golden crust on the outside. Take the salmon out of the oven and give the salmon a turn. Then, turn the oven temperature to the regular setting and cook it for around 10 minutes.
Canned salmon
It’s one of the healthiest proteins you can eat, but it’s also one of the hardest to prepare. Salmon has the tendency to dry out if it’s not cooked properly. This means that your fish is likely going to end up with a tough, rubbery texture. To get a crispy, delicious piece of salmon, you need to prepare it in the oven.
