No they didn't walk into a bar. I just got these last night at Costco since we are having people over for dinner 2 nights this week.
How long should I cook about a 2 lb salmon and a 2 lbs turkey> What temp too? I am thinking 425 and 30-40 min for the salmon...but check it around 30ish minutues.
What do you all think?

I only buy salmon filets, around 6-8 oz each, and only poach them. When I try to bake or broil they are always dry.
To poach I use a deep pan 3/4 full of water & add a little dollop of soy sauce and teriyaki sauce. I bring it to a boil, put in the salmon, reduce the heat to medium or medium low and cook covered for 8-10 minutes (depending on size and thickness). Works every time however in spite of the moist cooking medium it can be dry if cooked too long.
I agree with Denise. I cut salmon into 6-oz pieces, put them on a foil-lined baking sheet (and spray the foil with Pam), and broil for 6 minutes, then baste with glaze, then broil for 6 more. I pull them out and dig into one (that ends up being the piece I eat) with a fork to make sure they're cooked through--they can go back in for another 2-3 minutes if they need to.
(My favorite glaze is apricot jam, a splash of soy sauce, and a dash of garlic powder and powdered ginger.)
I'm afraid if you cooked the salmon that long, the end pieces would be very dry and overcooked.
Is it a whole turkey, or a chunk of turkey breast? 2 lbs seems pretty small for a whole turkey.
