Should I bake salmon skin side up or down?

Always bake salmon with the skin side down as this will help protect the fillet from the heat of the pan and it will help the salmon retain its juices and cook evenly. When it's time to serve the salmon, the skin will come off really easily as you slide a spatula between the fillet and the skin.

Do you cover salmon when baking?

Measure the thickness of your salmon once you have it on your pan. Bake salmon, uncovered, 4 to 6 minutes per ½-inch thickness. Bake a dressed salmon 6 to 9 minutes per 8 ounces of fish. Always check your fish at the minimum baking time to ensure your baked salmon doesn't get overcooked.

When should Salmon be turned?

Tip: To get a good sear, blot the salmon fillet with a paper towel to dry it before seasoning it, and make sure the pan is very hot. Next, don't mess with the fish until it's ready to flip. The fish will let you know that it's ready when the edges are brown and it lifts easily from the pan.

What temperature do you pan sear salmon?
