- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Doneness Test: Salmon is cooked through when no longer red.
Dress It Up: Spoon about 1 table- spoon sauce or glaze of your choice over each fillet before baking.
Simple Savory Salmon Sauce: Mix together 1/2 cup light mayo, 2 teaspoons Gold’s White Horseradish, 1⁄4 teaspoon lemon juice, 1⁄8 teaspoon each dried dill, salt, and pepper. Spoon over fish and bake as instructed.
