Salmonids (salmon, pink salmon, trout and other species) are some of the most valuable commercial fish that are very useful for human nutrition. There are many quite healthy ways of cooking salmon, one of which is baking in the oven. When choosing and buying fish, it should be taken into account that wild fish, of course, is more useful than grown in artificial conditions, although the latter option is quite acceptable.
Tell you how to cook salmon in the oven. We choose a good-looking fish with clear eyes, with a normal fresh fishy smell, than fresh, the better.
Fillet of salmon in foil, baked in the oven
Ingredients:
- salmon fillets (can be with skin, but without scales) - about 200-300 g per serving;
- lemon;
- fresh herbs (coriander, parsley, dill, basil, etc.);
- Spices for fish (black and red pepper, anise and others to your liking, you can ready mixes without glutamate sodium, salt and other non-nutritional supplements).
Preparation
We marshify the cleaned and gutted fish, that is, we cut the meat along from both sides of the ridge. Fillet of salmon cut into pieces with a width of about 2-3 fingers (if there were bones - carefully remove). On the piece of foil we spread rarely, but evenly several leaves of greenery.
From above put a piece of fish, sprinkled with his spices and put on top a thin slice of lemon. We pack each piece in a separate bag and put these bags on a baking tray. We place the pan in the oven, already heated to a temperature of about 180 degrees C. Bake for 20-30 minutes. If you want to brown the fish, you need to interrupt the process approximately in the middle, unfold the foil bag, remove the lemon slices and return the baking sheet with the unfolded packets to the oven for the remainder of the time.
Pieces of ready-to-eat salmon, baked in the oven, carefully extracted from foil packets and laid out on a serving dish or serving plates. Make out fresh slices of lemon and greens.
