Adjust cooking times based on the salmon variety used and how thick the fillets are. Leaner salmon like Sockeye or Coho should be cooked less than fattier salmon such as Chinook or Atlantic.
Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C. Rinse and pat dry the salmon.
Lightly oil the baking dish or pan.
Place the salmon on the oiled baking dish/pan (if salmon has skin on, place skin side down). Lightly oil the salmon with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
Garnish with chopped parsley and optional lemon wedges and serve.
