Pink salmon steak casserole with sour cream and vegetables

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake pink salmon with potatoes in the oven? Prepare the products. I bought ready-made salmon steaks. If you have a whole fish, it needs to be cleaned. Remove the fins and head, cut, gut from the inside, remove the inner film. Rinse, dry and cut into small portions. You will also need four medium-sized potato tubers, a small onion and two medium tomatoes. Any hard cheese will do, the main thing is that it is delicious.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into rings approximately 5 mm thick. Slice the peeled onion into thin rings. Tomatoes washed and dried with paper towels are also cut into circles. To prevent tomatoes from falling apart when slicing, choose dense fruits.

3. Step 3:

   

   Lightly grease a mold or a small baking tray with high sides with refined vegetable oil. You can use round, oval or any other shape heat-resistant dishes with a diameter of about 22-25 cm .

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the potato circles in the first layer. Season them with salt and pepper. If desired, sprinkle with dry aromatic herbs. You can use ready-made spices intended for fish dishes. In this case, be sure to read the composition. If there is salt there, take this into account when you salt the dish, otherwise you risk over-salting.

5. Step 5:

   

   Spread the fish steaks on top.

6. Step 6:

   

   Place onion rings on the steaks.

8. Step 7:

   

   Brush the onion with sour cream of any fat content. You can replace it with natural yogurt without additives, cream or mayonnaise. If you want, add garlic (1-2 cloves) passed through the press to the sauce.

9. Step 8:

   

   Arrange the circles of tomatoes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Grate hard cheese on a large or medium grater. Sprinkle them over the tomatoes. Hard cheese can be replaced with mozzarella.

11. Step 10:

    

    Cover the mold with foil. Press its edges well against the sides of the dishes so that there are no cracks. Preheat the oven (10-15 minutes before cooking) to 180 degrees. Send the mold there and bake the dish for about 50-60 minutes. The time and temperature may need to be changed, as each oven bakes differently. How to determine the readiness of a dish? Try the potatoes. It should break easily by pressing the fork.

12. Step 11:

    

    I recommend removing the foil 5-10 minutes before the end of cooking. Then return the mold to the oven and continue baking until a ruddy cheese crust forms. Take out the form with the finished fish and potatoes. Arrange on plates and serve immediately while hot. You can sprinkle chopped dill on top.
