Salmon is an oily fish that is full of omega 3 fatty acids. Be careful not to over cook your salmon. The rule of thumb for cooking fish that is used by most professional cooks is to measure it at the thickest area of the fish. Cook the fish for 10 minutes per inch. If you’re grilling or oven cooking your fish and it’s wrapped in foil or covered in sauce the best rule of thumb is to cook it 15 minutes per inch. If your baking or grilling take the fish out about 2 minutes before the required cooking time as the fish will continue to cook for a couple of minutes once removed from the heat source.

It is very easy to overcook a salmon fillet. Removing the fillet from the oven while it still has a translucent look to the center will keep this from happening. The residual heat finishes the cooking process when you allow the salmon to stand 5 minutes before serving.
