I have several foolproof, oven-baked staples that I\u2019ve perfected over the years, like <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/baked-chicken-breasts\/\">baked chicken breast<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/baked-cod\/\">baked cod<\/a>, and this baked salmon. They\u2019re the foundation for many of my weeknight meals and make it easy to whip up a delicious dinner in a pinch. So when my body craves omega 3\u2019s and a light, healthy meal, I turn to this oven-baked salmon. It comes out <em>perfectly<\/em> every single time! Here\u2019s what else you\u2019ll love about my recipe:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Beginner-friendly. <\/strong>If you\u2019re new to cooking and want a foolproof recipe, this is the one for you!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quick and easy. <\/strong>It takes just 20 minutes from start to finish. The only prep work is making the herb butter topping.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No mess.<\/strong> While I love pan-seared salmon, that approach can sometimes cause splattering and mess. This baked salmon is splatter-free!&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Great for meal prep. <\/strong>While this recipe is delicious on its own, leftovers can be transformed into a flaky <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/salmon-salad\/\">salmon salad<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/salmon-patties\/\">salmon patties<\/a>.

It works great either way! And if you have any questions on how to shop for salmon, I\u2019ve got plenty of tips below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lemon Butter Topping:<\/strong> Butter, fresh lemon juice, and garlic is the ultimate trio for great-tasting seafood. If you\u2019re dairy-sensitive, <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/how-to-make-ghee\/\">ghee<\/a> also works.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Herbs: <\/strong>You can use a variety of tender herbs, but I love a parsley and dill combination. It complements the salmon beautifully.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Find the printable recipe with measurements below<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-backdrop-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-for-choosing-the-right-salmon\"><strong>Tips For Choosing The Right Salmon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Go for wild-caught.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/wild-caught-vs-farmed-salmon\/\">Wild salmon<\/a> is more nutritious, flavorful, and vibrant in color. Unlike farmed salmon, it\u2019s less likely to contain pollutants or antibiotics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Best types to buy.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/coho-vs-sockeye-vs-king-salmon\/\">King, sockeye, and coho salmon<\/a> are top choices. Since wild salmon is seasonal, availability varies, but always look for bright pink, well-marbled fillets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh vs. frozen. <\/strong>Unless you&#8217;re buying the catch of the day from a fish market, frozen salmon is often the better option. It&#8217;s flash-frozen right after being caught, preserving its freshness better than the &#8220;fresh&#8221; salmon (which isn\u2019t so fresh) sitting on ice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This oven baked salmon is my go-to salmon recipe for an easy, healthy dinner!

This ensures even cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make the butter mix.<\/strong> In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and lemon juice. Then brush the butter mix over the fillets in a baking dish.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baking time.<\/strong> Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper on each fillet, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle the parsley and dill on top before serving!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-common-questions\"><strong>Common questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1741200135421\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Should I remove the salmon skin?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, don\u2019t remove the skin before baking. It will help protect the fillet from the pan\u2019s heat, cook the salmon more evenly, and retain its delicious juices. Plus, after the salmon is cooked, you can easily slide the skin right off.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1741200142138\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What\u2019s the white ooze?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you notice some white slimy substance on top of your baked salmon, don\u2019t panic. It\u2019s actually just a protein in the salmon called albumin that becomes solid when heated. The hotter the salmon cooks, the more albumin will come out. So to prevent a thick white layer, cook your salmon at a gentle temperature.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1741200150190\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How do I know when the salmon is done?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You\u2019ll know the salmon is done baking when it flakes apart easily with a fork. I don\u2019t often use an instant-read<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Lz1v9S\"> thermometer<\/a> when baking salmon, but if you want to double-check, the internal temperature should be 125\u00b0F to 130\u00b0F for moist, perfectly cooked salmon.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1741200158594\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How do I thaw frozen salmon?\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Thaw it in the fridge overnight (and on a plate to catch any liquid). If you\u2019re a few hours away from dinner, you can thaw it in a big bowl of cold water. This should take about an hour or so, depending on its thickness.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"This oven baked salmon is my go-to salmon recipe for an easy, healthy dinner!

But, keep in mind that the cooking time will depend on the fillet\u2019s size and thickness. <\/span><\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A standard fillet needs 12 to 13 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A thicker fillet needs 13 to 15 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A whole side of salmon needs 15 to 20
