I bought a salmon filet yesterday, and I want to cook it for dinner.
I plan on putting it in a marinade but I don't know what temperature to cook it at or for how long.
Anyone got any idea? I would be doing it in the oven.

I would do 450 for 12 minutes. Don't overcook it-easy to do. I like my salmon medium, so it will be slightly opaque in the center

Whenever we need a quick recipe we go to thefoodnetwork website. Try this one: Glazed Salmon and Vegetable Medley - Food Network Canada

Salmon happens to be our least favourite fish but I hope you enjoy your recipe.
Good luck.

There are a variety of temps and cooking durations that can work.

I do mine at a lower temp for a longer time period - about 20 minutes at 375.

Don't ask me why or where that came from, cause I dunno, but I am sure that the 450 for 12 minutes will work just as well.

Things that go well with salmon:
Lemon
Butter
Dill
Mustard
Ginger/soy sauce

I often marinade salmon in a combination of lime juice, water and maple syrup. A little sweet with it is wonderful, when combined with the lime flavor. Before putting in it the marinade, I rub it with fresh garlic cloves and push the cloves down into the flesh.

I also bake it topped with a mango salsa - the one I buy at Costco.

spicy is good.... I use cajun blackening spices for grilling salmon and redfish......... lemon pepper and garlic sea salt work well also

You're right!


Moxi, the Thai marinade should be great. Did you make it?

I guess you could call her my sister-in-law made a filet of something not salmon once and she made a sauce for it that had tomato, onion, green pepper, garlic and coconut milk all blended together.

It was really good and apparently common in colombia.
