How to cook deliciously - Baked Salmon

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat the salmon dry. Cut the fillet crosswise into 8 pieces if desired. Place the salmon in a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Brush evenly with butter. Stir together the white wine or chicken broth, lemon juice, pepper and tarragon in a bowl. Pour over the salmon.

2. Stage

Bake the salmon, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, just until the fish becomes flaky when you pierce it with a fork. Editor's Tip: It can sometimes be difficult to tell whether salmon has finished cooking. There are two ways to help you. First, check the temperature at the center of the fillet with a meat thermometer, which should read at least 145º. The second way is to check the color of the salmon. The fillet should be opaque and have a pink or orange color. It should no longer be translucent.
