Oven-Baked Salmon

Did you know that cooking salmon is actually a very easy procedure?  It's literately just 3 easy steps, so easy even a caveman can do it!

All you need to season a perfect oven-baked salmon is just salt and black pepper.
remember that... :)



Step 1 - Wash, Cut and Season

Once you get your fresh piece of salmon filet...

• wash the filet with cold water.
• cut the filet in portions.
• season the filet with salt and fresh black pepper.

Step 2 - Baking Tray

• First, pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cover the baking tray with tin foil.  That way you can avoid washing the baking tray by simply pulling off the tin foil :)  
• Once you covered the baking tray with tin foil, oiled it lightly with canola oil or any other cooking oil (you can use olive oil for more flavor).  
• Place the filet pieces in the baking tray, then slide the tray into the oven, let it bake uncovered, 400 degrees F for 20 minutes. (Set the timer, so you don't forget)

Step 3 - Done!

Pull the tray out of the oven... Serve!



For tonight's dinner, I cooked up some pasta mixed with marinara sauce and grilled some egg plant slices... Quick and easy!
