Notes
- Drizzle olive oil over the top before baking – this helps keep the salmon moist while it cooks.
- Add herbs and spices for extra flavor – these can be added before or after the salmon is cooked.
- Let your salmon rest about 10 minutes before serving – this will help keep it juicy and flavorful.
