HOW TO COOK SALMON

You will need a cooking tray and parchment paper to make this recipe.

1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF.
2. Line a cooking tray with parchment paper and place the salmon fillet on top with the skin side down. Lightly season with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Cover the salmon fillet with another piece of parchment paper and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
