Pink salmon with carrots - the subtleties and useful tips
- To make the salmon juicier, do not completely defrost the fish before cooking. On the fillet of chilled fish you can put ice cubes or pieces of butter.
- Carrots and onions should be spiced, but not to fry in any way.
- Fish for any dish must be taken fresh. Fresh fish has thick carcass, bright eyes, fish smell. It is better to buy chilled, rather than frozen fish. First, you then pay for the fish, and not for the ice, the weight of which, with proper freezing, can be half the total weight of the fish. Secondly, the freshness of the frozen monolith is impossible to determine. Overpaying in this case can result in significant savings.
- If desired, sprinkle the fish with lemon before cooking.
- In order to discourage the smell of fish, the dishes should be washed with household or toilet soap, and then rinsed with cool water.
