Pink salmon baked in the oven with cheese - general principles of cooking
• Pink salmon in the oven can be baked on a pan or broiler, in pots or packed in foil.
• For baking, use fish fillets, which are prepared or prepared independently. To separate the fillets, the whole carcass of pink salmon is well thawed. Then they cut off all the fins from the fish and take out the insides, be sure to scrape the skin from the scales with a knife. The carcass treated in this way is washed with water and wiped dry. The dried pink salmon is put on a cutting board and cut along the ridge, starting from the side of the head. In the same way, the second fillet is also separated, only the fish is turned over onto a ridge. Harvested fillets are carefully inspected for the presence of small bones and removed. Then the fish meat is cut according to the recipe.
• To prepare fish steaks, cut the carcass cut across, in chunks about 2 cm thick.
• When baking in the oven, pink salmon is often dryish and therefore vegetables are often added to dishes with such fish.
• To prevent moisture from evaporating when baking, fish dishes are sprinkled with grated cheese of any solid kind. Under the influence of temperature, it melts and forms a dense crust, it is she who keeps all the juice in fish pieces.

• Pink salmon, prepared according to any recipe, can be seasoned with your favorite spices that are suitable for fish dishes. However, do not forget that their excessive amount can kill the taste of the fish itself.
• Thaw carcasses only in air. An excessively dryish fish, when thawed in water, will lose its juice, which is not enough for it.
• If the processed cheese is not well rubbed, moisten the surface with water or lightly freeze the cheese in the freezer.
• Be sure to grease the baking sheet or roasting pan with grease or cover it with foil, which can also be greased with oil. This will help avoid burning and sticking of the fish.
