tips:
When the thickest portion of the fillet readily flakes with a fork, your salmon is done.
Do not use a paper liner while cooking salmon with the skin on if you want the skin to be crispy.
The USDA states that cooked salmon should be at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit on the inside.
Your salmon should be flakey, tender, juicy, and cooked to a medium doneness after 7 minutes of cooking.
The cooking time for your salmon fillets may vary depending on their thickness. Reduce the cooking time if the fillets are thinner.

Tips for Perfect Salmon
Choose fillets of similar thickness for even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the basket.
