Pink salmon baked with potatoes

Pink salmon is a red fish, known not only for its excellent taste qualities, but also for a lot of useful vitamins and trace elements in its composition. In addition, it is a low-calorie product, and the high content of amino acids in pink salmon makes it satisfying enough to feed the whole family with dinner.

First of all turn on the oven at 200 degrees.

Clean the fish carcass, wash, dry and cut into uniform pieces 2 cm thick. You can buy already cut steaks in the store. For dinner for 4 people, you will need 4 pink salmon steaks.

Season the fish with salt, pepper and lightly sprinkle each piece with lemon juice. In this case, no spices are used anymore, so as not to interrupt the taste of the red fish itself.

Grease each steak on all sides with soft butter. Put the pink salmon in a suitable baking dish or a deep baking sheet, previously also greased with butter.

Peel medium-sized potatoes, wash and cut into medium pieces - it should have time to bake during the time that the fish is being cooked. Season the potatoes with salt and put them in a baking dish between the fish steaks. On top, so that the potatoes are not too dry, crumble a little butter.

Since the pink salmon itself is a little dry, it is best to season it with some sauce. The sauce for fish can be made creamy, cheese or tomato-based.

Prepare a sauce based on sour cream. To do this, parsley greens (can be replaced with dill or green onions) should be washed, dried and finely chopped. Pour sour cream into a bowl and pour the greens there, mix thoroughly. If desired, you can add any ingredients to the sauce, as long as they are combined with red fish.

Put the sour cream sauce on top of the fish. Cover the baking dish with foil.

Put the fish in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and let the fish and potatoes bake until an appetizing golden crust for another 5-10 minutes.

Baked pink salmon is best served hot directly to the table.

Bon appetit!
