Step 1: prepare the fish.

We wash the pink salmon fillets under cold running water to remove all sorts of contaminants, dry them with paper kitchen towels and place them on a cutting board, flesh side down. We take a sharp kitchen knife, trim the end of the fish skin and, with one deft movement of the hand, remove it from the fish fillet. Then cut the pink salmon meat into pieces up to 2 centimeters in diameter and transfer the fish to a deep plate.

Step 2: prepare the remaining products.

Now we begin to prepare the remaining ingredients, peel the onions and rinse them together with the parsley sprigs under cold running water. Dry the vegetables with paper kitchen towels, and shake the greens over the sink, thus getting rid of excess liquid. Afterwards, put the onion on a cutting board and cut it into small cubes with a diameter of up to 6 - 7 millimeters, just finely chop the parsley. Place the cuts on separate plates. We also put on the kitchen table sour cream, salt and spices that will be needed to prepare this dish.

Step 3: prepare pink salmon stewed in sour cream.

Then turn on the stove to medium level and place a frying pan on it with 2 - 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When the fat is hot, add the chopped onion into the container and, stirring it with a kitchen spatula, simmer the vegetable until translucent and lightly golden brown. This process will take no more than 3 – 4 minutes. Then add pieces of fish to the onion, fry the 2 ingredients together for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring vigorously, and pour sour cream into the pan. Reduce the stove temperature to a level between low and medium, add chopped herbs to the container, salt to taste, ground black pepper and allspice. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the fish until fully cooked for 15 minutes. During this time, pink salmon will be saturated with the aroma of spices, salt, sour cream, and will become soft and very tender. After the required time has passed, turn off the stove, let the fish steep in sour cream sauce for 7 - 10 minutes, use a tablespoon to place the aromatic dish on plates along with your favorite side dish and serve.

Step 4: serve pink salmon stewed in sour cream.

Pink salmon stewed in sour cream is served hot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The fish tastes spicy, with a slight sourness. Due to a fairly short heat treatment, pieces of pink salmon retain their shape and do not crumble, although their texture becomes very delicate. You can serve any side dish for this delicious dish, for example, stewed boiled or steamed vegetables, boiled potatoes, vegetable purees, rice, pasta and cereal porridge.

If you have never encountered cooking dishes based on pink salmon, then this article is especially for you. In it I will share with you several recipes that will allow you to please yourself and your loved ones with culinary delights.

So, the first recipe on the list is “Stewed pink salmon.” This is perhaps the simplest thing you can easily do with fish.

Let's start cooking. First we need one kilogram of pink salmon. Let me clarify right away that this weight is designed only for already defrosted fish. If a frozen product is available, it will require slightly more, taking into account the error in water loss during defrosting. First, the fish must be cleaned, washed thoroughly and cut into future portions. Next, line the bottom of a medium-sized pan with a bay leaf. Season the pink salmon with moderate salt and lightly grate with ground black pepper. If desired, the fish sides can be greased with mustard, which will add piquancy and flavor to the future dish. Place the pieces of fish vertically in the pan, and place half of a medium potato in the space between them. Pour all this charm with a small amount of liquid, about two centimeters. By liquid I mean water or any (vegetable, meat, chicken) broth. The dish must be simmered over medium heat for about thirty minutes under the lid. Then turn off the fire and let the pink salmon brew and soak in all the juices. This process will take about 15 minutes, also with the lid closed.

As I already said, this is an ordinary fish dish that is useful for your usual diet. In this case, in addition to fish, we used potatoes, but no one forbids using absolutely any vegetables: carrots, onions, beets, etc. Stewed pink salmon with vegetables is also a great option for those who don’t have time for a side dish.

If you decide to make a festive fish dish, then the following recipe will come in handy.

Let's get started, pink salmon stewed in sour cream.

Clean and wash about half a kilogram of pre-frozen fish and wash thoroughly. Cut the pink salmon into slices, two to three centimeters thick, and rub with a small amount of salt and saline solution. Next, one medium onion must be finely chopped and fried in vegetable oil until half cooked. After the onion process is completed, fish pieces should be placed on top of it and poured with pre-prepared sour cream sauce. For it you need about one hundred and fifty grams of sour cream, diluted with a small amount of boiled water, and also add your preferred spices. The dish should be simmered under the lid for about twenty minutes over moderate heat.

Pink salmon stewed in this way is much softer and juicier than usual.

Here are two of the simplest pink salmon recipes. As you already understand, the cooking process takes a minimum of time. If we talk about pork, beef or even chicken, it will take much longer! And what about the taste of such a dish as pink salmon stewed in spices or various sauces! Bon appetit!
