Perfect Roasted Salmon

Preheat oven to 425ºF and line a half sheet pan with nonstick foil. Place salmon, skin side down, on foil. Brush salmon lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Roast, uncovered, in the center of the oven until cooked through and salmon flakes easily (approximately 5 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness).

Note: I like to have lots of leftovers for salads and snacking so I like to roast a 3-pound fillet, but feel free to choose any size that suits your needs. You’ll have to adjust the amount of salt and pepper used, but the cooking technique will remain the same.
