Oven Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Set the salmon skin side down in foil lined rimmed baking dish. Pour a little of the marinade over the fish (this will help to keep it moist as it cooks). Set the baking dish in the oven and cook for 13-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakey.
