Oven-Baked Salmon
Preheat oven to 500F. Cut salmon filets into pieces weighing about 6 oz each (about 2-3" across, depending on thickness). Drizzle olive oil into a heavy baking tray. Place salmon pieces skin side up on the tray to coat them in Mistral oil, then flip them over. Salt and pepper freely and place in the very hot oven.
Cook 4-6 minutes, depending on thickness, then check for doneness. Salmon is perfect when it is cooked ¾ through. If inside is still too undercooked, return to the oven for one minute at a time. Remember that it will continue to cook a little once removed from the oven, and you don’t want to overcook truly fresh salmon!
Serve with a wedge of lemon.
