Holidays always assume the presence of delicacies on the table. Red fish is a decoration on the menu and is always welcome for the participants of the feast. How to cook pink salmon, baked in the oven with tomatoes and cheese for the festive table, is discussed in this material.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
This type of red fish is well suited for baking in the oven with cheese and vegetables. Ruddy cheese crust adds to the fillet, which has medium fat content, taste, and a juicy tomato brings freshness and moisture.
Did you know? Eating pink salmon in any form is very beneficial for human health. Those who are overweight, have liver disease or are allergic to iodine are better off refraining from taking this delicacy.
To prepare a meal, pink salmon is acquired either raw (if possible), or fresh-frozen. Tomatoes are picked ripe, but firm, without damage.
It is better to use fresh carcass of pink salmon for the recipe (you can replace it with chum salmon or young salmon), since fresh-frozen, when thawed, may be too soft, watery or stale.
Mayonnaise is used without flavoring, the usual "Provencal" with an average fat content of 40-50% is suitable. Fresh or thawed fish is wiped with paper towels, onions and tomatoes are washed under running water.
