How you cook salmon in the oven

The temperature of 350 F is perfect for cooking salmon. At this temperature, the salmon will cook slowly without becoming burnt or dried out. It is a great temperature for chicken and pork as well.

Bake salmon at 400 degrees F for 11 to 14 minutes for 6-ounce fillets or 15 to 18 minutes for a single side, until it registers 135 degrees F on an instant read thermometer inserted at the thickest part of the salmon.

A good temperature to cook salmon is 375°F. At a salmon cook temp of 375°F, 15-20 minutes is fairly accurate to cook through. You want to make sure your salmon internal temp reaches about 145°F.

Normally, it might take at least 16 minutes to bake salmon at 350 degrees. For a portion of salmon, it would be around 16 to 18 minutes; and 20 to 24 minutes for a whole salmon fillet. Moreover, if you bake them at higher 350 degrees, you can shorten your baking time.
