Salmon baked in foil in the oven is a delicious and sophisticated dish that is quite appropriate on a festive table. Foil-wrapped salmon can be made from steaks or from whole fish, cut into fillets. The process of cooking salmon in the oven is very simple, and it also takes a minimum of time.
It is necessary
-
- Fillet or steaks of salmon
- Onion
- Sour cream
- Wine
- Lemon
- Greens
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Foil
Instructions
Step 1
Cut the whole salmon into portions (about 250 grams), peel them of skin and bones to make a fillet. If you are baking a salmon steak in foil, simply rinse each steak under running water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Rub the portions with salt, black pepper and sour cream. If desired, garlic passed through a garlic press can be added to the marinade. Instead of sour cream, you can use cream, olive oil, or soy sauce. Only if you decide to use soy sauce as a marinade, you should not salt the fish. Leave the salmon to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3
Make a pillow for the fish. To do this, prepare a separate sheet of foil for each portion of the salmon. Then cut the onions into rings and place them on the foil. Sprinkle the onion with finely chopped fresh herbs. Salmon in foil is good with different herbs: you can use dill, parsley, basil, rosemary or thyme. Some housewives make a fruit "pillow" - instead of greens, pieces of apples, plums or pineapples are added to the onions.
Step 4
Place the salmon on a "pillow" of onions and herbs. Pour one tablespoon of white wine over each piece of fish. On top of the salmon, if you wish, you can put some more onions and herbs, or lemon mugs.
Step 5
Carefully wrap each piece so that the salmon in the foil does not leak in the oven. Preheat oven to 200 degrees and place fish in it. Usually, cooking salmon in foil takes only 15-20 minutes. When the time is up, take out and deploy the fish.
Step 6
Salmon baked in foil will be tastier if you sprinkle lemon juice on each piece of fish after cooking. As a side dish for oven-baked salmon, you can cook rice, boiled potatoes, cauliflower. The fish can be garnished with lemon slices, olives, or chunks of sweet red pepper.
