The general recommended baking time for salmon depends on the thickness of the fillet and the oven temperature:

• At 375°F (190°C), bake salmon fillets for about 12 to 15 minutes

• For a larger side of salmon (around 2 pounds), bake at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes

• For individual 6-ounce portions, baking at 400°F takes about 12 to 14 minutes

• Another guideline is to bake for 10 minutes or 5 minutes per ½ inch of thickness at 375°F

• At 350°F, a large piece of salmon takes about 25 minutes to bake

• A rule of thumb is about 4 minutes per 1 cm thickness at around 375°F

The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and looks opaque but still moist and shiny, not dry

. It is advised not to overcook salmon to keep it tender and juicy

. In summary, for most typical fillets about 1-inch thick, baking at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes is a reliable method to achieve perfectly cooked salmon

. Adjust cooking time based on thickness and oven temperature accordingly.
