Depending on how thick, maybe 2-4 minutes per side? Not very long.

It’s cooked through when you insert a fork in the top and the fork comes out warm.

Like put a pat of butter on top of the salmon as I’m about to put it in the oven?


Yes just put it on top. Doesn’t need to be a lot!

I echo skin side down, and use parchment paper to get that crispy skin! Don’t cook too quickly at high heat on the stovetop - that causes the albumin to leak out and while it’s perfectly edible, it doesn’t look the best.

Skin side down. You can also cook it in a pan on the stovetop. Melt a pat of butter in the pan, adding seasonings if you want. Put the salmon in skin side down. Season with herbs, spices, Japanese barbecue sauce… to your taste. I usually cook it top on, on low-medium heat, then take the top off when it’s almost cooked through, and raise the heat a bit to crisp the skin.

Good for you if it's wild caught. Farm raised less so.

Skin side down, a little nice mustard and sprinkle of brown sugar, salt and pepper. Roast on 425 for 15-20 minutes depending on how well done you like it.

Skin down. Agree, don’t marinate for long. Like 15 minutes maybe.
I bake mine for 14 minutes at 425.

I was given a slice of salmon and have an idea for marinade. The salmon has a black part to it, like "skin" maybe? When I put the salmon on the pan for baking, does that skin go down or face up? Thanks.
