Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil or use a cast iron skillet for baking salmon.
Use a paper towel to dry the salmon, and remove any loose bones.
1 pound salmon
Place the salmon in the baking dish. Brush the fish with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 4-6 minutes for every ½ inch of thickness.
Remove the salmon from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients and serving size of one-fourth (1/4) of a pound of salmon. In other words, the pound of fish divided into four (4) equal sized filets. Moreover the calorie count does NOT include the dill sauce topping and garnishes seen in the photos. Actual calories will vary. Storage of the baked salmon is not recommended.
