On the eve of the New Year's celebrations, everyone thinks about how unusual the hot can be added to the table. The baked baked bird is recommended to be replaced with fish, for example, pink salmon, which is much cheaper than salmon and at the same time is not inferior to it in taste. Below we will prepare pink salmon in foil in the oven so that the fish absorbs the maximum taste and turns out juicy.
Pink salmon roasted whole in foil
The only decoration of the New Year's banquet will be a whole-baked fish. In addition to the interesting appearance, this fish is amenable to stuffing, so that the flesh can be soaked with the aroma of your favorite herbs. We decided to choose a set of dill, tarragon and parsley, but you can vary the composition of the fragrant bouquet at your discretion.
Ingredients:
- pink salmon (whole) - 2.5 kg;
- potatoes - 1.4 kg;
- fennel - 310 g;
- a bunch of parsley, tarragon and dill;
- lemon - 2 pcs.
Preparation
Start with the garnish. In this case, we will bake pink salmon with potatoes in foil in the oven, and therefore clean the tubers and distribute them on a baking sheet. Divide the fennel bulbs into large rings. If desired, fennel can be replaced with a common onion. Sprinkle garnish with oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
If you managed to get already gutted fish, then you can start cooking, otherwise first remove all the insides from the abdomen of the fish, and then grind the greens. Slice dill, tarragon and parsley, salt the carcass from the outside and inside, and fill the fragrant mixture with the belly of the pink salmon. Then send strips of zest of one of the lemons. Squeeze the juice on the fish from above. Cover the baking tray with foil, then let the pink salmon bake for 15 minutes at maximum temperature, then remove the foil and let it reach 180 degrees for about half an hour. To judge exactly how much to roast pink salmon in foil in the oven is necessary individually, given the size and weight of each particular fish. Serve with the remaining lemon.
