How Long To Bake Salmon At 350 In The Oven
Baking salmon at 350°F usually takes about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, whether it is stuffed or not, and the oven’s performance. But usually baking salmon at 350°F won’t take more than 30 minutes.
How Long To Bake Salmon At 350 In The Air Fryer
In the air fryer, baking salmon at 350 degrees takes 10 to 15 minutes. The timing for this will depend on the thickness, whether it is covered with foil or not, and the performance of the air fryer. Since the air fryer bakes salmon faster than the oven, the cooking time should not exceed 15 minutes.

The baking time for salmon at 350°F will take 20 minutes per pound, which is for a 1″ thin salmon fillet. But the exact amount of time is not the same, meaning if you have 5lb of salmon, you won’t need to bake them for 100 minutes (5×20), it’s not the same.
Because salmon is tender meat, unlike pork or ribs, baking time will differ from those of other meats. This means you can’t really use equations to bake your salmon; you just need to check the internal temperature often.
How Long To Cook Salmon At 350 On Grill
At 350°F the salmon will take between 10 and 12 minutes to grill for a 1-inch thick piece. I love grilling salmon with the skin on since that is the best part about grilling. Make sure to always grease the salmon with butter or lemon mixture to prevent it from drying out and keep them moist.
How Long To Bake Marinated Salmon At 350
Marinated salmon can be baked in the oven at 350°F in 18 to 20 minutes. This is because soaking salmon meat in the marinade for two to three hours will cause the salmon meat to become more tender and lighter so that it can be baked quite quickly.
How Long To Bake Salmon At 350 In Foil
By covering salmon with aluminum foil before baking, the cooking time can be reduced to 20 minutes or less compared to an uncovered salmon. This is because the foil will help maintain the temperature inside and thus ensure a faster cooking time.

Baked salmon covered with foil will indeed take less time to bake, but uncovered salmon will have a golden brown color and crisp skin. That’s why chefs will remove the foil in the last few minutes of baking to get this amzing brown color and the crispy texture.
How To Know Salmon Is Cooked
Generally, salmon is perfectly cooked once its internal temperature reaches 125°F or 135°F. If you are a beginner chef you should have thermometer to prevent burning or over cook the salmon.
How To Know Salmon Is Cooked Without Thermometer?
You can tell whether your salmon is finished cooking by pressing gently with your finger or a fork on the top of the fillet. If the salmon fats separate easily along the white lines that run across the fillet, it’s done.

- In The Freezer: It is possible to store cooked salmon in the freezer for up to six months before it starts losing flavor.
