It is highly advised to bake salmon uncovered. Before you put them in the oven, sprinkle just a little bit of pepper and salt over them.

Pan-frying is probably the best way to cook salmon. Not only do they cook quicker this way, but they give the salmon that crunchy, crispy skin you are looking for!
