Costco Salmon Cooking Instructions
By following our Costco Kirkland Salmon Cooking Instructions, you will be seasoning your salmon fillets with olive oil, garlic, and thyme in this simple weekday supper dish, then roasting them in the oven. They only need 12-15 minutes in a 425°F oven to be fully cooked, juicy, and tender! Leftovers are also delicious, especially when crumbled over a salad.
Ingredients
- 4 (6 ounces) Costco Kirkland wild salmon fillets skin on or skinless, about 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a rack in the center of the oven. Using parchment paper, line a baking dish.
- Check for bones by running your finger across your Costco Kirkland Salmon fillets. Remove the bones from your fish using fishbone tweezers if they are present.
- Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil all over. Place them, skin side down, in the baking dish. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme to taste.
- Bake your Costco Kirkland Salmon until it is opaque and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 145°F, this should take 12-15 minutes, depending on your oven.
- Serve right away.
Notes
- Instead of olive oil, coat your Costco Kirkland Salmon in melted butter.
- You can experiment with different spices. Consider incorporating onion powder and paprika in addition to garlic and thyme.
- I occasionally serve my cooked Costco Kirkland Salmon with lemon wedges so that guests can squeeze some lemon juice over their salmon.
