How do you cook frozen salmon in the oven?

Ingredients:

* 1 pound frozen salmon fillet (skin on or off)

* 1 tablespoon olive oil

* Salt and pepper to taste

* Optional: lemon wedges, fresh herbs, or other seasonings

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Salmon: Place the frozen salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. If you're using skin-on salmon, make sure the skin is facing down.

3. Season: Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like lemon zest, garlic powder, or your favorite herbs.

4. Bake: Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillet.

5. Check Doneness: You can check the doneness with a meat thermometer, or use a fork to gently flake the salmon. It should be flaky and opaque.

6. Rest: Let the salmon rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

* Defrosting: If you have time, you can defrost the salmon in the refrigerator overnight. This will result in a more tender salmon.

* Flavor Boost: Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of honey for a sweeter flavor.

* Vegetables: You can roast vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, or carrots on the same baking sheet as the salmon.

* Serving: Serve your cooked salmon with your favorite sides like rice, quinoa, or salad.

Enjoy!
