Salmon is usually understood as any fish from the salmon family (salmon, trout, chum salmon, pink salmon, etc.). Salmon and its relatives are not only very tasty, but also healthy food, which is valuable primarily for Omega-3 fatty acids, which protect our body from the development of various inflammatory processes, which are known to be the cause of most diseases. These fatty acids also prevent the formation of blood clots, which are the main cause of heart attacks.

It has been proven that 100 grams of salmon contains the daily value of vitamin D and half the daily value of such essential substances as vitamin B12, niacin, selenium, vitamin B6 and magnesium. Even canned salmon is beneficial, as it contains a high calcium content. In addition to those listed, salmon contains more than 80 other nutrients.

If we talk about this fish in the culinary aspect, then it is characterized by a slight decrease in size after frying and stewing, the ability to retain its nutritional properties and attractive appearance. To prepare most dishes, prepared salmon fillets or steaks are used, although the whole fish or its individual parts can be used very successfully. Typically, salmon is fried (using a frying pan or grill) or baked in the oven.

Recipe 2: Creamy Salmon

Salmon cooked in a creamy sauce is an excellent second course. By skipping the frying stage, you can get boiled-stewed fish. After frying, the fish receives a special aroma and becomes more uniform and dense. Mustard and green onions added to the cream give the dish a slightly piquant taste.

Ingredients

1.5 kg salmon fillet (or other salmon fish);
half a lemon;
raises frying oil;
pepper to taste;

For the sauce:

0.5 liters of cream or sour cream;

3. Finely chop the green onions.

4. In another frying pan (you can wash the same one in which we fried the fish), melt a piece of butter over medium heat.

5. Setting aside a little chopped onion, put the rest in the frying pan and fry for a short time, stirring constantly, just so that it loses its volume.

6. Mix cream or sour cream with mustard, salt, pepper, pour into a frying pan and heat the sauce with constant stirring until the first bubbles appear.

After intensive stirring, there will be no large flakes, and after baking, even small flakes will not be noticeable at all.

Recipe 4: Salmon soup

Very tasty, filling and easy to prepare soup. One detail: salmon habitats are clean places, so they do not have any foreign odors. Accordingly, I would like to warn you against using various soup seasonings “for fish”, which are good for carp fish, which often have the smell of mud, and in the case of salmon, they will only deprive the soup of that unique appetizing aroma characteristic of fish of the salmon family.

Ingredients:

300 gr. salmon fillets;

4. After frying the onion in vegetable oil until golden brown, add it to the pan, cook for a few more minutes and add the potatoes. Bring our soup to a boil again and put the fish in it.

5. Having turned the heat to maximum, bring the soup to a boil, turn it off and let it “simmer” for about 10 minutes. It will be good if the soup infuses for another half hour, then its taste will become even more intense.

6. When pouring the soup into bowls, you can add a little finely chopped parsley to each bowl.

Recipe 5: Salmon Steak

Ruining a salmon steak is a difficult task even for a novice cook, if you follow all the recommendations given in the recipe. Many people like to simply bake a steak on the grill or fry it in a pan. In our recipe, in which salmon steaks are stewed in a frying pan in grapefruit juice, the meat turns out to be especially tender, having a noble taste and aroma.

Ingredients:

4 salmon steaks;
1 tbsp. l. olive oil;
3 onions;
250 ml freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
a few slices of grapefruit.

Cooking method:

1. Peel the onions and chop them finely.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the chopped onion until softened.

3. Place the steaks in the frying pan, pour in grapefruit juice, adding grapefruit slices, cover with a lid and cook over low heat for no more than 5-7 minutes.

4. Serve the finished steaks with fresh bread, or with a side dish in the form of rice or vegetables.

To prepare a good salmon dish, it is very important to choose the right product. If you buy fresh fish that is cut into steaks or fillets, make sure that it has not been previously frozen. You can recognize this by the pulp, which should be soft, dense and not watery. Remember - the fresher the fish, the tastier, more aromatic and simply more beautiful your dish will be.

To fry salmon, preheat the pan well and fry very quickly, as directed in the recipe. If you neglect this rule, the fat will melt out of the fish, and it will become dry and may fall apart.

One of the main rules: fish, which has so much of its own taste and aroma, needs minimal seasoning. The best thing would be to sprinkle the salmon with lemon before cooking, which will perfectly highlight all the taste advantages of our fish. When baking salmon, you can cover it with thinly sliced ​​lemon slices.

3. Pieces of fillet can be baked either 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 it in lemon juice for a second and place it on foil with the meat facing up, that is, on the skin of the piece.
5. Rub the top meat part with spices. It is better to take a little spices so that they do not interrupt the smell and taste of red meat.
6. Rub the spice-coated piece with oil. You can use a pastry brush - this way the piece will be better coated with a good layer of oil. This will keep the meat soft and not dry it out when we open the foil.
7. Place chopped and mixed greens on a piece.
8. In this form, cover the pieces with a layer of foil, covering the edges on all sides to create a bathhouse effect inside for each piece.
9. Place the baking sheet with the salmon fillet in the oven, preheated to 200-220°C for 15-20 minutes. The fish cooks quickly.

You will need:

• salmon steak – 3-5 pcs;
• or lime – 1 piece;
• sour cream or classic yogurt – 1 tbsp;
• salt – ½ teaspoon;
• herbs 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 baking sheet.

Preparation:

1. Wash the salmon steaks and pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon and brush the fish on all sides. You can use a pastry brush or dip the steaks in a saucer with lemon or lime juice.
3. Grease a baking sheet with oil and place 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 may lose the delicate and soft taste inherent in noble salmon.
5. Place about ½-1 tsp of sour cream and herbs mixture on steaks. per piece and spread in an even layer along the top, open edge of the steak. You will get a green sour cream layer 2-5 mm thick. This layer will act as a cap during baking - it will not only add richness to the taste of the fish, but will also protect it from drying out in the oven.
6. Place the baking sheet with fish stacks in a sour cream cap in the oven, preheated to 200-220°C for 20-25 minutes. In the last few minutes, you can place a thin lemon ring on each piece of salmon for decoration.
