  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to bake pink salmon with cheese? Remove the pink salmon fillets without scales from the fins and cut into portions. I have a width of each piece about five centimeters. Place the pink salmon skin down on a pre-greased baking dish with a drop of olive oil. Sprinkle each piece with lemon juice. Season the fish with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash the fresh coriander greens and shake off excess moisture. Finely chop.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    For the marinade, mix the grainy mustard (with mustard seeds) and olive oil. Add garlic grated on a fine grater (or passed through a press). Mix the marinade with coriander.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Spread the marinade evenly on each piece of prepared pink salmon.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Grate the sharp cheese on a coarse grater. Sprinkle the pink salmon cheese generously on top. Bake the fish for twenty minutes to half an hour in a preheated 200 degree oven. The cheese should completely melt, and an appetizing ruddiness will form on the surface. The time and temperature of baking depends on your oven!

I really liked the pink salmon baked according to this recipe. The cheese crust combined with grainy mustard and my favorite cilantro is beyond praise. And the pink salmon itself turned out to be tender, juicy and with a slight sourness from lemon. Garlic, by the way, was practically not felt in the dish.
Therefore, such fish as a main dish (with a side dish of rice, for example) you can safely take it to the office for lunch. Let your colleagues envy you a little :)
Due to the large amount of cheese, the cheese cap will be dense and will allow moisture to remain in the pieces of fish when cooking. Thus, the dryish pink salmon itself will turn out juicy. This is the main secret.
Try to make the cheese completely cover the whole piece of fish. Greens should not be visible, otherwise it will burn when baking.
And it is also important not to over-dry the pink salmon. It is prepared very quickly. Of course, it all depends on the individual characteristics of the oven. Therefore, I advise you to focus on the ruddiness of the cheese on top. He should have time to become beautiful in a time of twenty to thirty minutes maximum. No more.
Bon appetit!
