Place a slab of salmon skin-side-down on a pan that can go into the oven. Any pan will work: cookie sheet, 9×13 pan, roasting pan… Put a spoonful of water in with the fish and cover the pan. If the pan doesn’t have a lid, use foil. Bake. I usually cook 1-1/2# fish for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees; thicker fish takes longer to cook.
Variations:
- drizzle fish with lemon juice before baking
- garnish with lemon slices
