30 minutes at 250 degrees. Slow and steady is your friend with salmon in the oven. Try it, it’ll be a game changer

Ok, I do this: 14-18 min at 375. Wrapped in foil. Last four min, open up the foil so the top can finish out.
From the pics looks like your on a good track tho, olive oil, chopped up toppings (garlic), etc.

Cool thing about salmon - I usually pan-fry it - is that it keeps on “cooking” a while after you turn off the heat

This plain informational tweet has become prosaic - almost poetic - with the thoughtful inclusion of a parenthetical phrase.

Use an instant digital thermometer to tell when it's done. As with all meats.

consider investing in a meat thermometer (good ones are < $20)
different oven, rack position, cut thickness, fat content, fish starting temp, etc make time + temp a hard way to estimate doneness
thermo works every time

cooking at high heat can be good but in the oven my favorite foolproof way is 275 in a ceramic dish, cover in harissa + ov + lemon or marinade of ur choice (I cook until 130 for a warm but slightly rare center)
flake w/ spoon at end and garnish w/ parsley for nice presentation
