Notes
- Be careful not to overcook the salmon. It's done when the internal temperature reaches 145ºF and it flakes easily with a fork.
- If the salmon still has skin, you can lightly score it to prevent it from curling while baking.
- Creating a foil packet for the salmon helps trap the steam to give it a moist result. Be sure when you're making the packet that it's fully sealed.
