Pink salmon baked with lemon in the oven in foil

Satisfying, juicy and original! And the smell! It's impossible to resist! Alas, there are people in the world who do not like fish. How unlucky they were! After all, they will not just not be able to taste this chic food - tuna salad, fragrant pike soup or what a salmon baked on coals tastes like. In addition, they, without eating fish, deprive themselves of a lot of useful substances and vitamins, which are literally stuffed with any fish. And in general, I think that someone, hearing now that we are going to cook pink salmon in foil today, will even be outraged - why so much fuss with it? After all, this delicious fish can be cooked easier. But let me disagree with you! There is one of the arguments in favor of baked fish. Here it is. According to American scientists from Harvard University Medical School, the constant consumption of such fish reduces the risk of heart arrhythmia!

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 45 min

Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients.Everything needs to be thoroughly washed, the fish cleaned and gutted if necessary.
Step 2:
Dry the fish thoroughly, trim the fins (I leave the tail). Make incisions on both sides of the fish carcass after 1-2 cm. Season the carcass with salt and pepper, paying special attention to the places of incisions and inside the fish.
Step 3:
For flavor, fill the belly of the fish with herbs and garlic, for this, cut the green onion into long pieces, cut the white part of the onion into halves. Garlic is crushed (I just crushed it with a knife). Cut the lemon into thin half rings (I have rings in the photo, but then I still cut them into halves).
Step 4:
Put a sheet of foil folded in half on a baking sheet, pour 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil on the foil. Put the fish on top of the foil. We send green onion feathers, garlic, basil leaves and a couple of lemon slices to the abdomen.
Step 5:
We put lemon slices into the incisions. Pour the remaining olive oil on top. Wrap the fish in foil. Bake in a preheated 190 C oven until cooked for about 30 minutes.
Step 6:
Tender, fragrant and very tasty fish is ready, you can serve it to the table! Enjoy your meal!

About how best to use foil in cooking, read the article Aluminum foil is an assistant in the kitchen and at home . It contains a lot of necessary information, tips and life hacks.

Getting down to cooking a foil-baked dish, consider the features of your oven and be guided by the cooking time according to it, and not by what is written in the recipe. If you are preparing a dish for the first time, follow a few useful tips:
- divide the total cooking time by 4
- open the oven every quarter of the total time and check the degree of readiness of the dish
- don't be afraid to unwrap the foil for a more accurate check
- to unfold the foil more conveniently, always leave a "seam" on top of it
- if you wish, you can determine the degree of readiness without unfolding the foil by making one or two punctures in it with a toothpick
Remember that the quality of the foil also matters.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use the useful information about the features of ovens !
