Perfectly Baked Salmon

Our easy baked salmon recipe takes less than 30 minutes and makes perfect, tender salmon. The trick to perfectly baked salmon is to gently bake the fish in a little liquid — such as wine, stock, or water. Then cover the dish and bake until just cooked through. You could call this oven poached salmon. It’s practically no-fail. If your fish is quite thick, except that the cooking time will be a few minutes longer than usual.
