How do I prepare the salmon and vegetables for baking?
To prepare the salmon, first preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon on the sheet and season with salt and pepper, as well as any additional herbs or seasoning as desired.

How do I know when the salmon is cooked just right?
The internal temperature of cooked salmon should reach a minimum of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the salmon in the thickest part of the fillet. The flesh should be opaque and easily flaked with a fork. To keep the salmon tender and moist, avoid overcooking it. It is better to undercook it slightly and allow it to cook through while resting outside the oven.
