Place in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through (if you want to test with a probe thermometer, you are looking for 45–50 °C / 110–125 °F).

Notes

Storage

This dish is best enjoyed right away. If you have leftovers, cover and store in the fridge as soon as they are cold. Can be kept for up to three days. Not suitable for freezing.

Hints and tips

For best results, choose salmon steaks that are the same size. If they taper too much at the end, tuck the end under so that the fish is a similar depth all the way along. This ensures more even cooking.

You don’t need to wait for the oven to be quite up to temperature. Just put the dish in when it is ready.

Any leftovers are good served cold with mayonnaise and crusty bread.
