Baked Salmon

Baked Salmon

Red fish (pink salmon, chum salmon, salmon), united by one common name - salmon, is very popular, despite its considerable cost.

In this fish there are practically no bones, except for a ridge with ribs. Despite the small scales, it is not so difficult to clean. Many recipes use only salmon fillets. In such cases, the fish can not clean, but simply remove the skin along with the scales.

Most often, salmon is baked in the oven. This type of heat treatment allows you to save most of the nutrients.

So that the fish from the bottom is not burnt, it is placed on a vegetable pillow consisting of onions, carrots and other vegetables.

Delicate taste of fish will be even more expressive if baked in a creamy sauce or with cheese.

Salmon can be cooked with potatoes. But you need to take into account the fact that potatoes cook longer than fish. Therefore, you need to take a well-boiled down potato, cut it into thin slices. Before baking the potatoes, it is advisable to slightly fry or boil until half cooked.

Salmon is baked as a whole and in the form of steaks.

A good solution is to use foil. It does not allow the fish to dry, as the salmon is prepared practically in its own juice. Such salmon will appeal to those who watch their weight and adhere to a healthy diet, because fish in foil can be baked completely without fat and crispy crust.

  • Most often, salmon comes to the shelves in the form of frozen steaks. When buying it, pay attention to the appearance. Chunks of fish should not be covered with ice. Frozen salmon practically does not smell. If an unpleasant smell emanates from him, the purchase should be abandoned.
  • If you managed to buy a whole carcass, pay attention to the gills. They should be red, not gray, like stale fish.
  • And, of course, it is unacceptable for the fish to be slippery to the touch or to leave holes on the body when pressed.
