majority on here say to use Lime juice. i haven't cooked before so can I just season, put adribble of oil on top, wrap in tinfoil & bake in oven or is it better pan fried?

Baking it in tinfoil would be fine.One advantage to cooking salmon in the oven as opposed to pan frying it is that it doesn't stink out your house!

I usually grate some ginger and garlic into a glass dish, add some soy sauce and a touch of chili and marinate it for an hour or two in the fridge (skin side up).Then I turn the fillet over, pop it into the oven for 20-30 minutes (depending on the thickness).It always comes out lovely.

pan fried skin side down first = crispy skin, almost the best part of the salmon

add sliced lemons (about 1/4 inch) to the bottom of your shallow frying pan - no oil. Put the deboned salmon fillet/strip on top and add water till the lemons are not quite covered. Put a lid on and steam for about 4-5 mins on a medium-high temperature. Then take the lid off and let the steam boil off then on a higher temp move the lemons to the side and put the flesh side of the fish down for 2-3 mins to crisp up, then flip and 2-3 mins other side. Fried lemons are edible and a great way to offset the oiliness of the salmon.

My partner and I love Salmon cooked this way.
