Have you ever wondered how long to bake salmon at 350? It takes 20 to 25 minutes to bake salmon in an oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fresh salmon fillets
Since the amount of time may vary based on the thickness of the salmon, it’s helpful to know how to tell when salmon is done. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. The USDA recommends a minimum internal temperature of 145°F measured in the thickest part of the salmon filet. Those who prefer salmon at medium doneness can aim for 125°F for farmed salmon and 120°F for wild salmon.

As someone who isn’t too well practiced at cooking fish, this is immensely helpful. Meat is challenging to find the right cooking time, but fish is so much harder!

I’m a huge fan of salmon but my boyfriend doesn’t like it so we don’t eat it much at home. This looks so tasty though x

We eat a lot of fish in my household and don’t eat meat. I prepare my fish in so many different ways. It all comes down to preference really.

Do you have to rinse the salmon and pat it dry before seasoning and cooking it? I’d like to try this recipe tonight. Thank you.

You don’t need to rinse fish. You can, however, brine it briefly if you want to minimize the white protein that forms naturally while cooking. You can see the brining method here (scroll down to the heading “Brining the Salmon Before Oven Baking”): https://recipeforperfection.com/cedar-plank-oven-salmon/
Totally optional, though.
