- Ensure the salmon fillets are of equal thickness so they cook evenly.
- Preheat your oven to ensure that the salmon bakes at a consistent temperature.
- You can use either whole or ground black pepper based on your preference for texture.
- Placing the fennel underneath the salmon helps to infuse the fish with a subtle anise flavor while it bakes.
- For an added burst of flavor, you can sprinkle some fresh herbs like dill or parsley over the top before serving.
- If you prefer a more pronounced lemon flavor, grate some lemon zest over the salmon before baking.
- Make sure not to overbake the salmon to keep it moist and tender; it’s done when it flakes easily with a fork.
