Knowing how to cook salmon in the oven is essential to mastering basic cooking techniques for weekday meals. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F for fillets, or 350 degrees F for a dressed fish. Fillets can be baked at a lower temperature, if desired, with an increase in cooking time. Bake salmon fillets or steaks, uncovered, for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness. Bake a dressed salmon for 6 to 9 minutes per 8 ounces of fish. To test for doneness, insert a fork and gently twist. The salmon is done as soon as it begins to flake and becomes opaque.
Set the salmon fillet on top of the dill and sprinkle with salt and pepper. The layer of lemon and dill will add fragrance to the fish as it cooks. Bake the salmon in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon fillet. To determine when the salmon is cooked, insert a sharp kitchen knife into the thickest part of the fillet and pull it to one side. The fish should appear cooked through and no longer be translucent.
