3-Step Execution Protocol
1
Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Prepare salmon fillet (skin-on, center cut) (6 oz skin-on center cut fillet, 1-inch thick, patted dry).
2
Cook
Cook for 12–15 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.
3
Check & Rest
Flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork; white albumin barely visible on surface. Confirm internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) medium / 145°F USDA. Rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Verification Basis & Testing Rig
USDA FSIS 145°F finfish standard; tested in GE Profile 30" convection oven with ThermoWorks Thermapen One.
Pro Tip: Place skin-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan — do not flip. The skin insulates the bottom while radiant heat cooks the top evenly.
