If you are using frozen salmon thaw it first.
Add aluminum foil to the baking sheet. Optional, but this make clean up easier. Lightly oil the foil before placing the salmon.
Top with whatever spices, seasonings, or sauces.
Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Then turn the oven to broil and place the baking sheet on the top rack. Broil for 1-2 minutes.

Thaw frozen salmon by leaving it in the refrigerator the night before you plan to use it.
I love to mix soy sauce with: miso, gochujang paste or black bean paste most often for my sauce. Sometimes I will mix BBQ sauce and soy sauce for a simple Korean BBQ type sauce.
I also sometimes brush the salmon with a hot sauce before baking like: Frank’s, Sriracha or Cholula.
Another option is to go heavy with a dry seasoning mix or rub like: Za’atar, taco seasoning, chili seasoning, or Italian seasoning. I especially like this option if I am planning to add the baked salmon to a salad.
I also think keeping it super simple and topping the salmon with a little melted butter, lemon juice and salt and pepper is great too!
