To make sure you get a tender flaky salmon every time follow these easy tips:
Use fresh salmon or be sure to completely thaw your salmon before cooking.
Make sure the pieces of salmon are all approximately the same size and thickness.
Use a thermometer checking the internal temp as the salmon cooks, checking thinner pieces before the thicker ones.
If you have different sized pieces of fish, you may need to take them out of the oven at different times.
