Salmonids such as salmon, chum salmon, pink salmon, trout and others are a valuable delicacy and a product very useful for human nutrition. Of course, salmon must be cooked delicately: salt, marinate, steamed or broth, or baked.
Tell you how delicious to bake salmon in the oven in foil. Fish choose fresh or fresh-frozen, with intact silver scales, with a normal gill color and a healthy fishy smell. The carcass should not be dented.
Salmon of medium size can be baked in a foil with a whole carcase (with or without a head). It is better to cut larger salmons and bake them in the form of pieces of fillets or steaks packed in foil separately.
