Rules for choosing red fish

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

In order to purchase truly 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 advisable 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 soft orange or pinkish;
4. If you buy fillets in a package, there should be no condensation or any liquid inside the package. The packaging must be intact and without damage;
5. The smell should be of sea fish.

It is not advisable to buy fish in the following cases:

• Cloudy eyes, the presence of a sticky coating on the scales and dark color of the gills;
• There are slight darkening of individual areas on the surface of the fillet;
• If pressing with your finger leaves depressions and dents on the surface of the fish. This is the first sign that the fish is starting to spoil;
• Red or reddish-brown fillet color. This is a sign that the fish is old;
• If there is any foreign odor.

Salmon baked in the oven is a dish that will be an excellent treat for many holidays. Although it is expensive, it is definitely worth making and trying. Cooked fish according to these recipes turns out very tasty and aromatic, especially if served with sauces and herbs. Also, don’t forget about spices, they will give it a more pronounced aroma and excellent taste.

Step 1: Prepare the marinade.

To ensure that the fish just melts in your mouth, it must be marinated before baking. To prepare the marinade, take 1 onion, peel it, and rinse it under cold water. And then grate it on a fine grater into a separate small but deep bowl. Then add salt, ground black pepper and a little mayonnaise to the onion to your taste, mix well. After this, coat the fish steaks, previously washed and dried with a paper towel, on all sides. Leave the fish to marinate for about 1-1.5 hours.

Step 2: Prepare the ingredients and bake the fish.

Peel the onion and garlic, rinse under cold water, and then cut into rings. Rinse the bell pepper well under running cold water, cut it in half, remove all seeds and cut it into small strips. Now cover the baking sheet with foil, folding the edges slightly to form sides. Grease the foil with vegetable oil. Now lay out the chopped onion, distribute it evenly over the bottom of the foil, pepper and garlic on top. Rinse the cilantro thoroughly under cold running water, then drain. Mash it with your hands and tear it into pieces, do not cut. Place garlic on top. Place the marinated fish on the greens. Preheat the oven up to 200 degrees and place the baking tray with the salmon to bake for about for 20 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the dressing.

To do this, you need to dilute half a glass of mayonnaise with 1/4 cup clean water. If you are a fan of spicy foods, then you can add adjika to the mayonnaise, of course, to your taste. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. After 20 minutes, pour the prepared dressing over the fish and sprinkle with grated cheese on top. Leave to bake for another 10 minutes.

Step 4: Place the salmon in the oven.

Then remove the baking sheet and place the finished fish in a serving dish. Leftover gravy also drain into the dish. The fish turns out very juicy and tender. As a side dish you can use French fries or boiled potatoes, boiled rice or vegetable salad. Enjoy your meal!

If you don’t really like the smell of cilantro, you can completely replace it with half a bunch of fresh parsley.

If you don’t have time to pre-marinate the fish, it doesn’t matter! She'll do pretty well anyway.

As for the spices for this dish, you can give full rein to your imagination. For example, I once tried to cook this kind of salmon with spices for barbecue, it turned out original and no less tasty than with spices for fish.

Salmon baked in the oven - secrets and useful tips from the best chefs

It is best to bake fish in the form of cut fillets or steaks. To save money, you can buy not a cut carcass, but a whole fish. Together with the head and tail, the product will cost much less.

Use any spices, but chefs do not recommend using its juice to marinate raw fish. The fact is that even a drop of acid will discolor the fish, turning the regal scarlet color into pale pink.

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 look at the gills or the eyes. All you have to do is smell it - chilled, high-quality fish smells fresh. In stores, unfortunately, they often offer defrosted raw materials under the guise of chilled ones. It's easier with frozen steaks - the main thing is that there is less ice in the bag.

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

How to choose a steak recipe?

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

Ok, I bought a steak. What's next?

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

Or marinate. It’s better to do this in foil, and then bake it more conveniently. Marinate the steak for 20-25 minutes in the refrigerator, then place it in a preheated oven for the same time.

Which is better: thoroughly marinated or lightly seasoned?

The question is controversial. The classic recipe is when the steak is seasoned with a minimal 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 for omega-3 fatty acids. Minimalism has a logic: fish is good on its own, why “spoil it” with additives? But not everyone will agree with this and will offer an assortment of spices in all their splendor.

What ingredients are required?

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

What to season with?

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

Salmon is seasoned with spices such as white pepper, saffron, ginger (powdered and freshly grated).

How long to bake?

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

What to bake in?

It can be in foil, parchment, a sleeve, or just like that, “without everything.” 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 more appetizing. Cooking in foil is more delicate and tender - ideal for those on a diet. For the crust, you can open the foil, which was previously closed, for the last 10 minutes. 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.

What's on the side?

Vegetable pillow. This is practical, as the fish will never dry out, plus the side dish is as requested. Cut the potatoes, maybe carrots, into flat rounds, place them on the bottom of the baking sheet, and place the 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 the onions and mushrooms, place on the steaks, tomatoes on top, the last layer is grated cheese. Bake for 30 minutes. You will get “French-style fish” with a spreading cheese crust, mmm...

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

What is the best steak marinade/sauce?

Although there is no dispute about tastes, here are some excellent recipes. We marinate in marinades for half an hour, and pour the sauces over the baked steaks directly on the 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 (can be 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 seeds.

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. Sauce made from Provencal herbs: thyme, rosemary, oregano, etc., parsley, lemon ½ piece, capers 1 tbsp. l. Grind everything and mix.

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

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

And the recipe will be “from start to finish”?

Necessarily. Here it is. For clarity and completeness of the picture.

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

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