Salmon is considered noble among fish. Its composition has a mass of useful minerals and vitamins, protein, has a rich, but delicate and delicate taste.

Baked salmon can become the signature dish of the holiday table and it does not take much effort, so the following recipes will become a favorite even for novice housewives.

Cooking in foil

To absorb the aromas of all the spices and stay juicy, the option of cooking salmon in foil will help. The foil keeps the fish healthy and dietary, and at the same time tastier than steamed.

There are many recipes for salmon in foil, but a simple way to bake in your own juice will help to reveal the most delicate taste of a noble fish.

You will need:

• salmon fillet - 0.4-0.6 kg;
• lemon or lime - 1 pc;
• vegetable oil or - 2 tbsp;
• chul - ½ tsp;
• favorite spices for fish to choose from: red or white pepper, oregano, anise, marjoram, cumin, coriander.

Cooking:

1. If there is a whole carcass of fish, it should be profiled - gutted, divided in half along the ridge and separated from the bones.
2. Cut the cleaned and washed fillet into slices, 2-5 cm wide. It is not necessary to peel the skin - it will stick to the foil and will not interfere.
3. Fillet pieces can be baked both on a common dish, then all the pieces will be in one large foil pocket, or individually, packing each piece separately. It all depends on how you plan to serve the fish. In both cases, the fish cooks quickly and remains juicy.
4. Soak each piece of fish fillet in the freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon. You can dip for a second in lemon juice and put on the foil with the meat up, that is, on the skin of the piece.
5. Grate the top meat with spices. It is better to take a little spices so that they do not interrupt the smell and taste of red meat.
6. Wipe the piece smeared with spices with oil. You can use a culinary brush - so the piece will be better smeared with a good layer of oil. This will keep the meat soft and won't dry it out when we open the foil.
7. On a piece lay out the greens, chopped and mixed.
8. In this form, we close the pieces with a layer of foil, covering the edges on all sides to make a bath effect inside for each piece.
9. We put a baking sheet with salmon fillet in the oven, heated to 200-220 ° C for 15-20 minutes. The fish cooks quickly.

You will need:

• salmon steak - 3-5 pieces;
• or lime - 1 pc;
• sour cream or classic yogurt - 1 tbsp;
• salt - ½ teaspoon;
• greens to choose from: dill, parsley, green onions, basil, cilantro;
• favorite spices for fish to choose from: red or white pepper, oregano, anise, marjoram, cumin, coriander;
• vegetable oil for greasing the pan.

Cooking:

1. Rinse salmon steaks and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon and brush the fish all over with it. You can use a pastry brush or dip the steaks in a saucer of lemon or lime juice.
3. Grease a baking sheet with oil, put the steaks at a distance from each other.
4. In a separate bowl, mix sour cream or classic yogurt, chopped herbs and spices. If you can put more greens, and it will not worsen the taste, then it is better to be careful with spices, otherwise you can lose the delicate and soft taste inherent in noble salmon.
5. Put a mixture of sour cream and greens on steaks, approximately ½-1 tsp each. into a piece and spread evenly over the top, open edge of the steak. You will get a sour cream layer of green color 2-5 mm thick. This layer will be a hat when baking - it will not only add richness to the taste of the fish, but also protect it from drying in the oven.
6. Put a baking sheet with stacks of fish in a sour cream hat into the oven, heated to 200-220 ° C for 20-25 minutes. In the last few minutes, you can put a thin ring of lemon on each piece of salmon for decoration.

How to choose salmon steaks in the store?

If we are talking about fresh steaks, then you can’t check them like a whole fish - you can’t see the gills or the eyes. It remains to smell - chilled high-quality fish smells of freshness. In stores, alas, they often offer thawed raw materials under the guise of chilled. Frozen steaks are easier - the main thing is that there is less ice in the bag.

Steaks are sold in the store already cut - it's convenient. When buying whole fish, turn it into steaks yourself (ideal steak width is 2.5-3 cm).

Depends on your goals. Steak recipes - simple and complex in terms of ingredients, everyday and festive, dietary and not so. Steaks are marinated in advance and then baked, or vice versa: they are baked and served with specially prepared sauces, but this is according to the rules. You can do it without rules: you fried a slice-steak in the oven, smeared mustard on it or sprinkled it with ketchup - you're done. No recipes.

Wash and dry with paper towels. Salt. Season. Bake. Serve with or without sauce.

Or pickle. It is better to do it in foil, then it is more convenient to bake. Marinate the steak for 20-25 minutes in the refrigerator, then send it to the preheated oven for the same time.

The question is moot. The classic recipe is when the steak is seasoned with a minimum set of additives: salt, freshly ground pepper (black, white), lemon juice - that's it. Lemon juice is often used in recipes: it is difficult to find a more suitable neutralizer of omega-3 fatty acids. Minimalism has a logic: the fish is good in itself, why “spoil” it with additives? But not everyone will agree with this and offer an assortment of spices in all their splendor.

Perhaps only three. Salt, pepper and sour additive: lemon juice, vinegar, white wine, soy or fish sauce, fermented milk product (yogurt). Other optional. Honey, for example. Sesame. Or even onions and garlic. Since they have a strong aroma and bright taste, there is an idea - to wrap the onion and garlic in foil (each vegetable separately) and bake next to the fish - then the accent will be expressive, but moderate.

A matter of taste. Any dry herbs and fresh herbs that seem right to you: basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, cilantro, mint, parsley. If it is fresh herbs, a sprig or two is enough, if dry herbs - depending on the degree of spice, to taste.

Salmon goes with spices such as white pepper, saffron, ginger (powder and freshly grated).

The steak is baked at a temperature of 180-200 degrees for 15-25 minutes, depending on the stove.

It can be in foil, parchment, a sleeve, or just like that, "without anything." The latter is more difficult: you need to make sure that the steak does not dry out, it “grabs” faster, although the crust turns out to be more appetizing. In foil, it cooks more delicately, more tenderly - ideal for those who are on a diet. For the last 10 minutes, you can open the foil, previously closed, for the crust. Another option is a grill: it will turn out like on a grill, but if you dare, make sure that the fat drips into the container set for this purpose.

Vegetable pillow. This is practical as the fish will never dry out, plus the garnish as requested. Cut potatoes, you can also carrots, flat rounds, lay on the bottom of the baking sheet, and place steaks on top. It tastes better when the side dish is baked with spices and sauce. For example, in sour cream with dill and onions.

Another option: tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, cheese. Fry onions and mushrooms, put on steaks, tomatoes on top, the last layer is grated cheese. Bake 30 minutes. It will turn out "fish in French" with a spreading cheese crust, mmm ...

Or prepare a side dish separately: mashed potatoes according to all the rules, fried mushrooms with onions, boiled or fried rice.

Although tastes differ, here are some great recipes. We marinate in marinades for half an hour, and pour sauces over baked steaks directly on a plate.

1. Honey-ginger marinade: 2 tbsp. l. honey, 1 tbsp. l. freshly grated ginger, 1 tbsp. l. soy sauce, 1 tsp. mustard, juice of half a lemon (possible with gruel).

2. Mustard marinade: 2 tbsp. l. mustard, 2 tbsp. l. honey, 1 tbsp. l. soy sauce, 1 tbsp. l. olive oil, 21/3 lemon (juice), white pepper, sesame.

3. Mint sauce: mint, basil, chili pepper - phalanx of the little finger, white wine vinegar 1-2 tsp, freshly grated ginger 1 tsp, honey 1 tsp, fish sauce 1-2 tsp. , garlic 1 clove.

4. Provence herb sauce: thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc., parsley, lemon ½ pcs., capers 1 tbsp. l. Chop and mix everything.

5. Onion marinade: cut 2 onions into rings, mix with half a lemon and spices, add, if necessary, butter or sour cream.

6. Cheese sauce: finely grated cheese, cream, nutmeg (freshly grated - a pinch or two),

Necessarily. Here's one. For clarity and completeness of the picture.

And once again, step by step, how to bake a salmon steak in the oven:

1. Salt, rub spices or pour marinade (onion, garlic, spicy, herbal, yogurt, etc.) for 10-30 minutes.
2. Place the steak on a lightly oiled baking sheet, or on parchment paper, or wrap in foil. Bake at a temperature of 180-200 degrees for 15-25 minutes. If in foil - the last 5-10 minutes open the foil to form a crust.
3. Serve with a side dish and, if the steaks are not marinated, with sauce.

If you suddenly need to cook something exquisite and royal, then you can bake salmon in the oven. Of course, it will cost a tidy sum, but it's worth it. This fish is very nutritious, healthy and has an incredibly excellent taste.

And if you bake it together with vegetables, potatoes or cream sauce, it will be a real masterpiece of culinary art. Rest assured, no one can resist this treat. But before moving on to the recipes for preparing this dish, you should familiarize yourself with the basic rules for choosing salmon.

Rules for choosing red fish

Since salmon is often sold far in a stale state, which is pre-cleaned in a potassium permanganate solution to remove all the mucus and cloudy eyes, you need to know the rules for choosing this fish.

In order to get really fresh fish, take note of the following tips:

1. The appearance of the salmon must be absolutely healthy - clean scales, transparent eyes with a black pupil, bright red gills and no damage;
2. It is desirable that there is a moderate amount of ice on the fish - if it is absent, then after cooking the fish will turn out dry, and if there is a lot, it will add extra weight;
3. The color of the fillet should be gently orange or pinkish;
4. If you buy a fillet in a package, then there should be no condensate or any liquid inside the package. The packaging must be intact and without damage;
5. The smell should be sea fish.

It is undesirable to buy fish in the following cases:

• Turbid eyes, the presence of a sticky coating on the scales and the dark color of the gills;
• On the surface of the fillet there are small blackouts of individual areas;
• If, when pressed with a finger, depressions and dents remain on the surface of the fish. This is the first sign that the fish is beginning to spoil;
• Red or reddish-brown fillets. This is a sign that the fish is old;
• If there is any foreign smell.

Salmon baked in the oven is a dish that will be a great treat for many holidays. Although it is expensive, it is a must to cook and try. Cooked fish according to these recipes turns out to be very tasty and fragrant, especially if it is served with sauces and herbs. Also do not forget about spices, they will give it a more pronounced aroma and excellent taste.

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

There are practically no bones in this fish, except for the ridge with ribs. Despite the small scales, it is not so difficult to clean it. Many recipes use only salmon fillets. In such cases, the fish can not be cleaned, but simply removed 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 below does not burn, it is placed on a vegetable pillow consisting of onions, carrots and other vegetables.

The delicate taste of the fish will become even more expressive if it is 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 potato, cut it into thin slices. Before baking, it is advisable to lightly fry or boil the potatoes until half cooked.

Salmon is baked both whole and in the form of steaks.

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

• Most often, salmon comes to store shelves in the form of frozen steaks. When buying it, pay attention to the appearance. Pieces of fish should not be covered with ice. Frozen salmon has almost no smell. If an unpleasant odor emanates from it, the purchase should be discarded.
• 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 that the fish be slippery to the touch or that pits remain on its body when pressed.
