I do like my salmon raw- in the form of sushi as well, but there's only 1 place that I know I can trust to have fresh fish, because I worked for the owner at another of his restaurants, but its too pricey for me to afford.
How do you like your salmon done?

I can enjoy salmon at just about any level of doneness, but I vastly prefer it 100% raw.
Good raw salmon is my favorite sashimi/sushi item by far.

I prefer mine cooked, on a cedar plank, but will take it just about anyway as long as it's cooked. Some lemon and I'm good to go!

Definitely raw for sashimi or sushi.
I bake my salmon for 12-14 minutes at 400 degrees.
I'll remove it and let sit for a few minutes more, because even after the fish is removed from the oven, it is still raw in the center and the remaining residual heat should be enough to finish cooking it through.
You CAN'T just cut into it straight out of the oven. You MUST let it sit and give it time to thoroughly cook.
Doing this will give you a fish that is fully cooked, but still soft & moist on the inside; perfect.
