Salmon fish, not so long ago considered a rare delicacy, are now confidently placed in the ordinary menu.

Baked pink salmon in the oven with cheese - general principles of preparation
• You can bake pink salmon in the oven on a baking sheet or roasting pan, in pots or packing in foil.
• For baking, use fish fillets, which are purchased ready-made or prepared on their own. To separate the fillet, the whole carcass of pink salmon is thawed well. Then cut off all the fins from the fish and take out the insides, be sure to scrap the skin of the knife with a knife. The carcass thus treated is washed with water and wiped dry. Dried pink salmon is placed on a cutting board and cut along the ridge, starting from the side of the head. The second fillet is separated in the same way, only the fish is turned over onto the ridge. Harvested fillets are carefully inspected for the presence of small bones and cleaned. Then the fish meat is cut according to the recipe.
• To prepare fish steaks, the processed carcass is cut across, in pieces about 2 cm thick.
• When baking in the oven, pink salmon is often dryish and therefore vegetables are often added to dishes with such fish.
• To prevent moisture from evaporating during baking, fish dishes are sprinkled with grated cheese of any hard variety. Under the influence of temperature, it melts and forms a dense crust, it is it that stores all the juice in fish pieces.
