Perfect Roasted Salmon

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a half sheet pan with nonstick foil.
2. 2
   Place salmon, skin side down, on foil.
3. 3
   Brush salmon lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
4. 4
   Roast, uncovered, in the center of the oven until cooked through and salmon flakes easily (approximately 5 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness).
5. 5
   Note: I like to have lots of leftovers for salads and snacking so I like to roast a 3-pound fillet, but feel free to choose any size that suits your needs.
6. 6
   Youll have to adjust the amount of salt and pepper used, but the cooking technique will remain the same.
