How long to cook baked salmon

Three things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 14:00

How thick is the fillet?

How do you want the centre?

Fan or conventional?

A fan oven runs hotter than its dial says. Sensei takes about 15% off for one.

How to tell without a timer

It flakes when it is ready. It carries on cooking on the plate.

Served translucent, salmon is below the 63°C / 145°F food-safety figure. Commercially frozen fish has had any parasites killed by the freezing, which is why restaurants serve it pink — fish that has never been frozen is the one to cook through.

How it goes

  1. Skin down on a lined tray. No need to turn it.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
