Notes
Fish cooking time can vary due to your oven temperature, but it is a good general rule to cook fish for 10 minutes per inch it is thick. A standard piece of salmon is about 1 inch thick, so most salmon will take about 10 minutes to cook.
Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
