Similar to amylase testing, lipase testing is often conducted to check for diseases of the pancreas, most commonly acute pancreatitis. Lipase testing can help diagnose pancreas issues because it shows up in the blood when the pancreas is damaged. This test may also be done for familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
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.
Baking Frozen Salmon. Preheat the oven to 325 F. It's standard to cook salmon at a higher temperature, but heating it more gently minimizes or prevents the outer flesh from overcooking. Place a greased sheet of foil or parchment paper on a baking tray and put the salmon steak or filet on top. Because it's frozen, the estimated cooking time is extended by around 50 percent. So bake the fish for approximately 22 to 32 minutes, depending on its thickness.
