Recipe contents:
Salmon is a flavorful fish that contains many beneficial nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids. Fish should be included in your menu as often as possible. It is extremely healthy and has a positive effect on your figure and physical fitness. There are many ways to prepare salmon, incl. and baking in the oven, which is considered the most common and popular among housewives. However, when using the dry heat of an oven, you need to take some precautions to prevent the fish from drying out while baking.
Salmon in the oven is a tasty, satisfying and healthy, yet easy to prepare dish. The beauty of the food is that a minimum amount of time is spent on preliminary cutting and processing of the carcass. And if you buy ready-made steaks, you don’t need to do anything with them at all.
First of all, you should pay attention to the correct choice of salmon, because... The taste of the finished dish directly depends on the choice of the main ingredient. The most ideal option is a chilled carcass. It has wonderful taste and is very healthy. When purchasing, be sure to smell the carcass; the aroma should be fishy and not putrid. The color of the meat should be saturated, but not too much: a pale carcass is stale, too bright - with dyes.
If the fish is frozen, it should be defrosted properly. To ensure that it thaws and does not spread, it must be kept on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. It’s easier to do this at night, then in the morning it can be cooked. It is not recommended to defrost fish in water, because... it will look untidy and lose its taste. Also, do not defrost salmon at room temperature, especially in the summer season. Pathogenic bacteria quickly form in it, which will become dangerous to health. And if the carcass is slightly frozen, and there is no thick layer of ice, then it can be cooked without defrosting at all. Exposure to high temperatures will quickly defrost it, but in this case you should allow more time for cooking it.
If you don’t have the opportunity to cook fresh fish right away, then after purchasing it, be sure to wash it, remove the insides from the carcass, dry it, put it in a glass container and put it in the refrigerator. This way, fish can be stored for no more than 3 days. For longer storage, keep it in the freezer or wrap it in foil and store it in the refrigerator in a glass container for 5 days.
If a carcass needs to be cut, it is convenient to do this when it is not completely defrosted. Therefore, try to clean it before the fish becomes soft. You only need to wash salmon in cold water so as not to spoil the taste, deprive it of flavor and juiciness. After washing, the seafood must be blotted dry with a napkin.
Cooking salmon in the oven - general cooking principles
There is probably no more noble dish than salmon. Red fish is famous for its health benefits, bright and fresh taste. It contains pure protein and natural fat, while completely eliminating unnecessary carbohydrates. Fish is prepared in different ways, but one of the best ways is baking in the oven. Then the dish will be less calorie, less fatty, dietary and light.
- For additional taste of the fish, you can make some kind of marinade. Salmon absorbs flavors quite well, and many flavors pair well with it. For example, you can use olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, mustard, fish seasoning, etc. as a marinade. Soy sauce is often poured into the marinade. In addition, the steak is even simply rubbed with salt and pepper and sprinkled with lemon/orange juice.
- If the fish is baked with mushrooms or vegetables, then additional products are pre-prepared. Champignons and onions are chopped and fried. But tomatoes are usually cut into thin rings and placed fresh on top of the salmon.
- The best way to cook a steak is to bake it in the oven in foil. This method preserves nutrients and the fish is tender and juicy.
- To ensure that the steak has a golden brown and crispy crust, it must first be fried in a frying pan on one side. Then, when baking in the oven, the cooking time is significantly reduced. You can also bake the fish half the time in closed foil, and then unwrap it: the steak will turn out a little browner.
- The simplest way to cook salmon is to marinate it for 30 minutes in a marinade and bake it in the oven in foil. It cooks quickly - 20-25 minutes. In this case, it will be almost impossible to spoil the fish. As a side dish for steak, you can boil tender potatoes, bake broccoli, blanch green beans, cut vegetable salad, etc.
Salmon in the oven in foil is a nutritious and at the same time dietary dish, prepared without salt and fat. Thanks to this, during the baking process, all omega-3, essential fatty and other acids are preserved in the carcass. From food prepared in this way you will get an aesthetic, gastronomic and health-improving effect.

Red fish (pink salmon, chum salmon, salmon), united by one common name - salmon, is very popular, despite its considerable cost.
There are practically no bones in this fish, except for the spine with ribs. Despite the small scales, it is not that difficult to clean. Many recipes use only salmon fillets. In such cases, you don’t have to clean the fish, but simply remove the skin along with the scales.
Most often, salmon is baked in the oven. This type of heat treatment allows you to preserve most of the nutrients.
To prevent the fish from burning underneath, it is placed on a vegetable bed consisting of onions, carrots and other vegetables.
The delicate taste of the fish will become even more expressive if it is baked in a creamy sauce or with cheese.
Salmon can be cooked with potatoes. But you need to take into account the fact that potatoes take longer to cook than fish. Therefore, you need to take well-cooked potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Before baking, it is advisable to lightly fry the potatoes or boil them until half cooked.
Salmon is baked either whole or in the form of steaks.
A good solution is to use foil. It does not allow the fish to dry out, since the salmon is cooked almost in its own juice. This kind of salmon will appeal to those who are watching their weight and following a healthy diet, because the fish in foil can be baked without any fat or crispy crust.
- Most often, salmon reaches store shelves in the form of frozen steaks. When buying it, pay attention to the appearance. Pieces of fish should not be covered with ice. Frozen salmon has virtually no odor. If it has an unpleasant odor, you should refuse to purchase it.
- If you managed to buy a whole carcass, pay attention to the gills. They should be red, not gray, like stale fish.
- And, of course, it is unacceptable for the fish to be slippery to the touch or for pressure to leave pits on its body.
