Burnt my first salmon fillet so bad the smoke alarm went off at 6am

The recipe said 12 minutes at 390 but my cheap basket runs hot, so after peeling off the charred skin I switched to 8 minutes with a foil tent and now I'm wondering if anyone else has figured out the timing for their wonky temp dial.

Honestly I think the foil tent is doing you dirty here. The whole point of a hot basket is that it sears fast, so 8 minutes might still be too long if you're trapping all that steam in there. I'd try 6 minutes flat, no tent, and pull it when the center still has a tiny bit of give.
