Notes
For Baking: adjust the cooking time based on personal taste. After about 15 minutes of baking, then check for doneness by cutting into the thickest section. If the meat is starting to flakeout, but nevertheless has a tiny translucency at the center, it's completed. It shouldn't, however, seem raw. Or should you would rather well-done salmon, then cook it till the thickest portion appears totally cooked through.
