Start with lining a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Grease or spray some PAM on the foil to keep the salmon from sticking.
Lay out your salmon filet on the baking sheet. (I like to get my salmon from Costco as they have the best prices around for meats and fish).
Add salt, pepper, garlic, and spices according to your personal taste preferences.
Bake in the over at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes (Time will vary depending on how thick the salmon filet is and how well you like it cooked.)
Half way through I like to switch the oven to broil and turn on the top heating element. This will help cook the fish from both the top and the bottom.
That’s it, simple, quick, and clean up is easy because we used aluminum foil on the baking sheet so there is little mess involved.

Unfortunately Aluminium can be absorbed by the food and is indicated in a few brain disorders. I would use parchment paper instead. Also available cheap at Costco. I would also suggest using Wild Salmon instead of Farmed especially if you are looking for Omega 3’s since farm salmon has little of this due to what they feed the fish.

Lance,
Right on! farm raised salmon DOES NOT contain much Omega-3, because they don’t ingest the food necessary to produce it in their bodies. They typically are fed ingredients that they normally WILL NOT eat and are also fed antibiotics to keep them from getting extremely sick. Avoid it!
As for the cooking sprays: read the ingredients. Avoid those that contain “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” oils. Just because it says “0” in the Trans fat or Total fat columns does not mean there isn’t any. the SERVING size is usually “1/3 second” Yeah right! who sprays for that amount of time? and because that “reduces” the amount per serving to .05 grams, they can say “0” calories. They purposely reduce the serving size so they can legally claim “zero” fat for marketing.
Big fat, liars!!!

So basically put the salmon in the oven as is and just bake. Bit cooking for dummies i think, but does show that salmon is cheap. Agree with the wild salmon, you can often tell by the pale color.
I normally try not to use any oil with it aswell as the oil from the fish can grease it up enough
Lance
Tom,
I Stay away from most cooking sprays. Just take a little oil an a paper towel and wipe it in the pan. Same thing with out all the junk. For cooking I will only use oils that don’t break down under heat such as coconut oil, Macadamia Nut oil or Grape Seed Oil.

By the way Costco also sells Wild Salmon, at least at my store. It is however $8 more for the 3lb bag. You get what you pay for.

Bit of a urban myth regarding the absorption of aluminium via foil. You would get more just from the water you drink, and our bodies don’t actually absorb it well anyway. Best to steer clear of those aluminium pots and pans that aren’t sealed. You know the ones that when your scrub them the water turns grey.
Certainly agree with the wild caught salmon though. But it is getting harder to find. And when you do it’s usually very expensive. Usually, wild caught is nowhere near as brightly orange colored as the farm bred stuff (they add a dye to it to make it more appealing). Though if the wild caught have been eating freshwater cray the flesh can color up. I found out because I suffered a nasty asthma attack after eater salmon at a wedding, I was allergic to the dye.
As for a healthy oil, I just can’t get over the taste of coconut oil with some things, and fish is one of them. We use a cold pressed organic non-gm canola oil on fish, just don’t heat over 350c. Which with fish I wouldn’t anyway.
Keep up with the recipes Lee. I’m getting sick of chicken breasts, broccoli and sweet potato.
Per
There are usually also reusable non-stick “papers” that you can use for your baking sheet lining, works like a charm.
Tom
Lance,
Right on again, Lance!
I use Macadamia Nut oil and coconut oil. My wife uses a spray but I’m gradually “learning” her. :>)
