Baked Salmon Fillet

Simple, healthy and ready in minutes.

1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C.
2. Put the fillets on a baking tray.  I cover mine with foil so there is less cleaning up to do.
3. Drizzle a little oil (either Rapeseed or Olive Oil) over the fillets and grind over some pepper and sea salt.
   
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes.  The salmon is cooked when the top of the fillets is golden and when the flesh is opaque.  Test that the salmon is cooked through by inserting a knife into the fattest part of the fillet and gently pulling the flesh back a little to check that it is also opaque.  I like my salmon only just cooked through so err towards the 10 minute mark.  The fillets will continue to cook for a little when you take them out of the oven.
   

Perfect served hot or cold with salad or vegetables or flaked and mixed with some mayonnaise on crusty bread.
