Overcooking salmon

[psd99]

Hey all,

I got a feeling I have been overcooking my salmon.

Yesterday I put it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes (halogen oven) at about 200c

The fish was lovely - very good texture, good taste and flaky! (I could see little bit of white) I actually enjoyed it

Whereas before the fish would be mushy, no texture and NOT enjoyable and in the oven 30 minutes plus.

How long and on which temperature do I need to cook salmon?

thanks for that

I cook em in foil too - I will try 10-15 minute tonight on 190 halogen cooks very quickly!

I didn't think of it like steak before, yesterday it was lovely nice and flaky

190 seems rather a high heat to be honest. Try putting it down a bit.

how much then?

prob cook it for 10 mins then

thanks for the suggestions.

I made it last night and it was so succulent and flaky.
I could see the pink inside as well.

amazing fish I love it:

and those beans are so lush

Good food all around with a bit of indulgence.
