Salmon fillets bake best at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes, until they flake easily and reach 145°F in the thickest part. Oven-baked salmon can swing from silky to chalky in a few stray minutes.

Pork chops are done at 145°F in the center, then need a 3-minute rest to stay safe and juicy. Pork chops can go from tender to dry in a blink, which is why so many home cooks get stuck on one question: what temperature actually works in the oven? The answer starts with the center
