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.

  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;

All salmon recipes are not only easy to prepare, but also very tasty. For example, salmon baked in the oven in foil has a delicate taste. Foil is an indispensable tool in the kitchen. Dishes baked in foil use virtually no fat and are therefore dietary. But all the useful substances that are destroyed by another processing method are perfectly preserved. To prepare salmon according to this recipe, you will need the following products:

*Salmon 600 g
*Mustard and honey, one tablespoon each
*Lemon 1.5 pieces
*Spinach
*Parsley
*Salt and pepper to taste

It is prepared in foil as follows: the salmon is cleaned and cut into portions. The juice is squeezed out of one lemon and mixed with honey and mustard. You need to add salt and pepper to the resulting sauce and grease the salmon pieces, after which they need to be wrapped in foil and placed in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. The salmon is baked until cooked for half an hour. Before serving, the salmon pieces are placed on a dish covered with spinach leaves and garnished with lemon slices and parsley sprigs. This dish is prepared for the festive table.

Salmon baked in the oven is also prepared without honey and mustard. You can simply salt the salmon pieces, sprinkle with lemon juice and grease with any vegetable oil. The fish is then wrapped in foil and baked in the oven for 30-45 minutes. Baking time depends on the thickness of the pieces.

There are not only delicious salmon recipes, but also healthy ones. For example, salmon baked in a double boiler is considered a dietary dish, and it takes less than an hour to prepare. To prepare this dish you will need the following ingredients:

Salmon
Lemon 1 piece
Herbs: parsley, dill, basil
Salt to taste
Khmeli-suneli seasoning

Salt the prepared salmon pieces on all sides, sprinkle with seasoning and place in a double boiler. You need to put sprigs of greenery on top and turn on the double boiler. After 45 minutes the salmon is ready. Green beans are a very good side dish. The dish is decorated with finely chopped herbs and lemon slices.

Or, for example, fried salmon. To prepare four servings you will need:

Salmon 4 pieces 200 g each
Salt, ground black pepper
Vegetable oil 1 tablespoon
Mustard 2 teaspoons
Ground chili pepper 0.5 teaspoon
Water 0.25 cups
Balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons
Cognac 3 tablespoons
Butter 25 g
Blackberries 400 g

The salmon pieces need to be salted and peppered on all sides. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and place on high heat. When the oil is hot enough, place the fish in the frying pan and fry for two minutes, pressing each piece with a fork. After this, reduce the heat, turn the fish over, cover with a lid and fry for another three to four minutes. The fried salmon is then transferred to a plate and the sauce is prepared in a frying pan.

To prepare the sauce, mix mustard, red pepper, water, vinegar and blackberries well in a cup. The mixture is poured into a frying pan and simmered over low heat until it thickens. After this, butter, salt and balsamic vinegar are added to taste. This sauce is poured over fried salmon and served.

As you can see, you can prepare many different dishes from salmon, and all of them are simply amazingly tasty.

), already knows that this is the best way to cook fish in general, and salmon in particular. Foreign bloggers conducted an experiment and came to the conclusion that the best result is obtained by pre-soaking the fish in brine (this makes it more juicy and prevents albumin from coming out as white flakes that appear on the surface of the salmon after heat treatment), and cooking the seasoned fillet at 50 degrees for 15 minutes. Pair this dish with a sauce of cream and blue cheese, which goes perfectly with salmon, and you get a quick meal, but with a lot of pretension. Do you have anyone to surprise? That's fine.

How to cook salmon best?

2 servings

400 g salmon fillet
1 tbsp. olive
a few sprigs of thyme

for the sauce:
200 ml. cream 22%
30 g blue cheese (dor blue, gorgonzola, roquefort, etc.)
if desired - a couple of sprigs of dill and 1/4 tsp. pink pepper
salt
black pepper

First of all, arm yourself with tweezers and check the salmon fillet for bones, then cut into portions and immerse in 2-3 tablespoons of salt per liter of water. While our salmon is resting, you can do this: pour the cream into a small saucepan, throw in the dill and pink pepper, and heat thoroughly, without bringing to a boil. Thus, the cream will acquire a subtle aroma of dill and pink pepper, after which it can be strained with peace of mind - but you can do without it, everything is better than then whining in the comments, as they really like to do on one resource. One way or another, after 30-60 minutes, remove the salmon from the brine, rinse under cold water and dry with napkins.

Drizzle each piece of fillet with olive oil, rub it gently but firmly into the pliable salmon flesh, and season with salt, black pepper and thyme leaves: this herb, when cooked using the sous vide method, gives the product such a mind-blowing aroma that it makes your head spin. Pack the fillets in cling film or in zip-lock bags so as not to leave any air inside (in the case of bags, the trick of immersion in water, which I wrote about before, will help), and send them to cook in water heated to 50 degrees, within 15 minutes.


Here they are, ziplock bags. In fact, for publishing this photo with a clearly visible logo, the manufacturer could give me so much money that I would write this post from a house in Provence that I had been eyeing for a long time. But, alas, I'm still here.

15 minutes is not a long time, and I am sure that during this time you will be able to maintain a constant cooking temperature while preparing the sauce at the same time. It is prepared, however, very quickly and simply: bring the cream to a boil, crumble it in and, stirring constantly, let it melt completely, dissolving in the cream. Boil to desired thickness, season with salt and pepper, and remove sauce from heat.

When the salmon is ready, carefully remove it from the bags (or film), transfer it to warmed plates and pour the sauce over it. The combination of salmon, cream and blue cheese in itself is beyond praise, and this method of preparation will allow you to get very tender fish with an amazing texture: salmon slices will peel off the fillet themselves and melt on the tongue in a literal, not figurative sense. I think it’s already clear to everyone that eating such fish without chilled white or rose wine is a real crime, and the question of how to cook salmon can now be considered closed.

Salmon is considered the noblest of fish. Its composition has a lot of useful minerals and vitamins, protein, and has a rich, but delicate and delicate taste.

Baked salmon can become the signature dish of the holiday table and you won’t have to put in a lot of effort, so the following recipes will become favorites even for novice housewives.

Cooking in foil

The option of cooking salmon in foil will help absorb the aromas of all the spices and remain juicy. Foil keeps the fish healthy and dietary, and at the same time more tasty than steamed fish.

There are many recipes for salmon in foil, but a simple method of baking it in its own juice will help reveal the most delicate taste of the noble fish.

You will need:

  • salmon fillet – 0.4-0.6 kg;
  • lemon or lime – 1 piece;
  • vegetable oil or – 2 tbsp;
  • chol – ½ teaspoon;
  • favorite spices for fish to choose from: red or white pepper, oregano, anise, marjoram, cumin, coriander.

Preparation:

  1. If there is a whole fish carcass, it should be profiled - gutted, divided in half along the ridge and separated from the bones.
  2. Cut the cleaned and washed fillet into slices 2-5 cm wide. It is not necessary to remove the skin - it will bake to the foil and will not interfere.
  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.
