Minimalist Oven-Baked Salmon

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets
  • as needed black pepper
  • as needed salt
  • a drizzle olive oil
  • 1 lime

Instructions

  1. Take two large salmon fillets. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, drizzle a little olive oil, and rub evenly. Squeeze juice from one lime over the top. If you have scallions on hand, sprinkle some — optional.
  2. No need to preheat the oven. Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes (adjust time and temperature for your oven — the goal is cooked but not dry). Remove the fish and plate it. Leave the skin on the baking paper, carefully flip it to a less oily spot, and bake at 200°C for 5 minutes until crispy. Use as garnish or enjoy as a crispy snack.
