What temperature to cook salmon?
Salmon is best baked at 350 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. You want to cook it at a high enough temperature that the heat can penetrate the fish quickly enough to cook the inside, but not too hot so that the outer layers of the fish dry out. 350 to 375 degrees is a good mid-range cooking temperature.
Foil:
In this recipe the fish is wrapped in foil to protect the fish from direct heat. You need the middle of the fish to be able to cook at the same rate as the outside of the fish for the best results.
What should I serve with Easy Garlic Herb Baked Salmon?
Vegetables always pair really well with salmon. You can keep your meal on the lighter side with a salad or lightly roasted vegetables, like some roasted broccoli. If you want a more hearty meal, consider a starchy side like honey roasted smashed potatoes or even a rice pilaf.
