Notes

How Long Do You Bake Salmon?

This salmon recipe will take about 25 minutes at 205 degrees C to bake because it’s wrapped in foil with other ingredients. Generally though, individual salmon fillets in a baking dish will take about 10 – 14 minutes at 205 degrees C. 
A side of salmon will take about 15 – 20 minutes at 205 degrees C.
