Oven-Baked Salmon Fillet

Oven-Baked Salmon Fillet (serves 2)

This is so easy that anyone can do it. It requires little preparation, little ingredients, and little skill.

Ingredients:

1 salmon fillet, approximately 400g
Salt


Instructions:

1) Clean the salmon fillet (especially the skin) and remove any bones. Use the knife to scrape across the skin to remove as much moisture as possible. You can make some slits (length-wise) on the skin as well.

2) Dry the salmon with a kitchen towel, then add some salt to the skin. Be generous - the salt helps to extract even more moisture from the skin. Place the salmon on some kitchen towels, skin-side down, and leave it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

3) Pat off any excess salt, and season the bottom of the salmon lightly with some salt.

4) Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius on grill mode.

5) Put the salmon in, skin-side up, for 8 to 10 minutes. The skin should be wonderfully crispy.
