Do you know the best way to cook salmon in the oven?
There are a lot of ways to cook salmon in the oven. It is also one of the simplest,
since you just prep and pop in the oven.
How long do you cook salmon in the oven?
It usually takes 40 minutes, give or take. Larger fillets need more time.
I know you know they are done when the meat is flaky.
I don’t know if you know how to prep the salmon.
You can marinade salmon.
Salmon is the chicken of the sea.
I thought that was tuna.
What I meant was, salmon can be prepared any way you like. You could marinade it in oil
and spices, soak in fruit juices or wine, glaze it with honey or maple syrup.
Maple syrup sounds good. How long does salmon need to marinade?
If you want to soak it before you bake it, half an hour to an hour. You can also put
leftover glaze on the fish when you stick it in the oven too.
Though you could marinade it overnight in the fridge.
That doesn’t make a big difference. But you do have to throw out any leftover marinade,
if it has been in contact with raw fish.
I’ve heard of people putting bread crumbs on salmon.
You can make a breading from bread crumbs, use crushed Ritz crackers or leftover bread
crumbs from the bottom of the loaf.
What do you use to make the breading stick?
Eggs, mostly. It is the superglue of the culinary world.
I’ve heard of people marinating the salmon in the fridge or at room temperature. What
do you recommend?
Only marinade it at room temperature if the oven is heating up. Don’t leave the fish
out at room temp very long.
Or eating the fish will make you as sick as a dog.
