How Long to Bake the Salmon
Bake salmon for 10-12 minutes at 400°F. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the filet. The salmon is ready once its internal temperature reaches 145°F.
For an extra crispy outside layer, broil the salmon on high for the last two minutes of the cooking time.
How to Store the Cooked Salmon
Salmon can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep salmon in a sealed container to avoid a “fishy” smell in your fridge.
Why Choose the Sockeye Salmon?
Wild Sockeye Salmon is usually the top choice. It’s high in nutrients and naturally low in contaminants. It’s high in omega-3s, which are very important fats for our body. Best of all, the Sockeye Salmon is almost never farmed, so you can be sure it’s lean and very nutritional.
Keep in mind, the Sockeye Salmon does have a bit of a stronger flavor to it.
