Salmon with lemon baked in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. It is best to take the fish chilled, frozen contains much less nutrients. Any vegetable oil will do: olive oil and rapeseed oil will do. Fresh garlic, in its absence, is completely replaced with garlic powder. And finally, I will use large salt, sea salt.

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the fish steak, remove excess films. Pour lemon juice from half a fresh lemon. This will remove the fish's extra fishy smell. Pre-wash the lemon well with hot water, so it will give much more juice. We'll need the other half of the lemon later.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour vegetable oil over the fish.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add a little salt.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add crushed garlic or garlic powder. I grate it on a fine grater, but you can chop the garlic with a knife or pass it through a press. At the same stage, you can add your favorite spices and seasonings: thyme, allspice, tarragon are perfect. In my opinion, fish of noble breeds, such as salmon, does not need additional seasonings, its taste is not worth anything "to score".

7. Step 6:

   

   Stir and leave the fish to marinate. The pickling time can vary from 20 minutes to 24 hours.

8. Step 7:

   

   While the fish is marinating, cut the remaining lemon into thin circles.

9. Step 8:

   

   Prepare a heat-resistant mold in which you will bake the fish. Lay out the fish steak.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put a few lemon circles on the fish. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Bake the fish for about 30 minutes. If you like a more useful option, close to stew, it is better to cover the mold with foil. If you like dishes with a crispy crust, then you can not cover the form with anything.

11. Step 10:

    

    Serve the fish immediately. Although it is delicious both hot and cold. Enjoy your meal!
