A 1-pound piece of salmon that is approximately 1 inch thick you can count on it taking about 20 minutes to fully cook. Please be aware that this does not mean that 2 pounds of salmon will take 40 minutes and 3 pounds 60 minutes. When you are dealing with baking salmon at 350°F the amount of time it takes larger pieces to fully bake may vary, instead of 2 pounds taking 40 minutes it may take more like 30 minutes, but it all depends on the exact size of your salmon.

A good rule of thumb when baking salmon so that it is completely baked without it becoming hard and dry is to bake your salmon until it reaches the internal temperature of 137° to 140°F then remove it from your heat source so that it has a chance to rest. During the resting time, you will find that it continues making and will reach the internal temperature of 145°F. Now you can enjoy a fully cooked salmon without it becoming hard and dried out.

For your basic salmon, it will typically take between 20 and 30 minutes for your salmon to fully bank.

When you are baking salmon at 350°F wrapped in aluminum foil, it is likely that your salmon will take approximately 5 minutes less to bake than your normal salmon bake without foil.

Salmon filets that are approximately 1 inch thick and 2 inches wide, on average it will take between 10-12 minutes to fully bake salmon fillets at 350°F in your air fryer.

Baking salmon at 350°F on your grill will also take between 10-12 minutes for pieces that are approximately 1 inch thick.

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Place the salmon on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with oil or butter, a bit of lemon juice, and add your desired seasonings, such as salt, thyme, and pepper.

Place your prepared salmon into the oven once it is preheated.

Bake the salmon for approximately 20 minutes, checking on it periodically until it is done.

Check your salmon to be sure it is finished baking. Your salmon should still be tender, but no longer have the raw pink look. You may also start to see white-ish sections coming from inside the salmon.

Check the internal temperature to see if the internal temp is at least 137°F. Allow your salmon to rest, and check for an internal temperature of 145°F. Once cooked, serve and enjoy!
