Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C.
Rinse the salmon and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Remove any bones. You can leave the skin on as it easily removes after cooking if you prefer not to eat it.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, herbs and spices.
Place the salmon pieces skin side down in a baking dish. Use a silicone brush to coat the top and sides with the oil and spice mixture.
Place the uncovered baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Purchase fresh salmon for the best flavor. The flesh on raw salmon should spring back and should smell like the sea but not fishy.
If using frozen salmon, thaw completely before baking salmon.
Cook in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can also bake salmon fillets in a cast iron skillet.
Marinate the salmon in the herb oil marinade for 30 to 60 minutes before baking. Bake marinated salmon for the same amount of time.
Wild salmon should be cooked to a temperature of 120 degrees F / 48 degrees C.
Farm raised salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F / 52 degrees C.
If there is a thin end of the fish, fold it under to maintain consistent thickness for even cooking.
Salmon will be opaque and flake easily when cooked through.
Serve the perfectly cooked salmon immediately while it is as tender and juicy.
Remove the salmon skin before serving if desired.
Storage - keep cooked salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
