Notes
- Potatoes: If you have small potatoes (that you halve instead of quarter) you can prebake for 10 minutes instead of 20. If after salmon has fully cooked if the potatoes are still firm, remove salmon and place on foiled covered plate to keep warm. Continue cooking potatoes until they're fully cooked and soft on the inside.
- You can make this recipe with the skinless or skin on salmon fillets. I like to keep the skin on as it adds more flavor.
- Check for pin bones before you cook the salmon by running your hand over the top of the fillet.
- Season the fish just before you put it into the oven. If you season it too early, the salt can draw out the moisture.
