Comets can have short periods of up to 200 years (such a Halleyâs Comet with a period of 76 years) or long periods of between 200 to potentially millions of years. Ideally, to know the period of a comet you would need to observe it twice and measure the time between observations to ascertain its period.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet or in a non-stick pan with an oven-proof handle. Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Place the salmon skin-side down in the saute pan. Sear the salmon until the skin crisps, which will take approximately three minutes. Turn the salmon over and lower the heat to medium. Cook the salmon over medium heat until it is cooked through, which will take approximately four minutes.
