If you like your salmon medium rare - I recommend 20 minutes. If you like it medium (soft pink all the way through), it takes closer to 25 minutes to reach an internal temperature of about 145 degrees) – After the Salmon is in the oven you have enough time to cook some white rice (or cauliflower rice) or pasta to serve with the dish as well as a simple salad if you choose. Mediterranean Salmon with Rice is one of my favorite easy meals - it comes together so simply and the family loves it. Get recipe
