Can you tell me, in intricate detail fit for a second grader, how you make your salmon? I have wanted to do this for ages and am intimidated.
Not the PP, but here's how I bake salmon:
Preheat oven to 375
Take a glass / Pyrex dish (ovenproof). Rinse salmon, pat dry, debone if desired, place in dish.
Drizzle salmon with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic salt (other seasoning options: basil, lemon zest, or grated ginger and soy sauce)
Bake around 20 minutes, depending on the size of the fillet. Test every so often by poking the center of the fish; when the layers flake apart easily and the fish looks opaque most of the way through, it's ready.
Deboning: the bones mostly lie in a line, you can run your fingers over the fillet and feel the bumps to locate them. With one hand, press lightly on the fish on either side of a bone to hold the flesh in place. With the other hand, grip the bone between fingernails or with a pair of clean needle-nosed pliers. Pull. I go through this when I'm feeding fish to my kids or company, but I don't bother if it's just DH and me - it's actually easier to remove the bones after the fish is cooked because the flesh doesn't stick to them.
