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.
Roast salmon for 30 to 35 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature at its thickest point reaches 145 F (63 C) on an instant-read thermometer. As the salmon cooks, baste it a few times with the curry paste mixture that drips into the bottom of the pan.
