How to Make Melt In Your Mouth Salmon Fillets Convection Oven Method

Preheat your convection oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse salmon fillets under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon dried dill, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper.
Generously brush the mayonnaise mixture onto all sides of the salmon fillets.
Place a well-greased wire rack inside a greased baking pan. This allows for even air circulation.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared rack.
Sprinkle the tops of the fillets with 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste).
At this point, you can cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours, or proceed directly to baking.
Bake for 20-35 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillets. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
