Is my salmon over or under cooked?

I've been noticing that some thicker pieces of of my salmon get a dry, almost crumbly texture on the inside layers, while the rest is soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Am I overcooking, undercooking, or is that just how salmon is?

Overcooking. Undercooked is rubbery.

I usually check by color. It is ready when the red color turns to a lighter pink mixed with white.

Thanks! How long in the oven would a pyrex dish of salmon need?

10 minutes? 15 if it's a really thick steak

It depends on how many pieces you are cooking. 1 or 2 slices take very fast. If you are cooking more and there isn't space between the slices or you are cooking a whole side of salmon it will take longer.

I always cook covered to retain moistness.

20 minutes in boiling water for poaching, 20 minutes in 400 oven for baking.
