Among a wide variety of fish dishes, the most popular are those where roasting was used as a heat treatment. This is due to the fact that in this way the product not only turns out to be juicy and tasty, but also retains many elements useful to the human body. At the same time, such a dish as pink salmon baked with potatoes is especially popular. It is a combination of juicy and tender fish, which is cooked with potatoes and gives it its taste and aroma.
Ingredients
To prepare you will need :
- pink salmon fish - 0.5 kg;
- potatoes - 1 kg;
- seasoning for fish - 1 pc.;
- egg - 1 pc.;
- salt;
- vegetable oil - 150 ml;
- black pepper;
- spinach - 150 g;

Product Preparation
So that juicy pink salmon baked in the oven does not turn into a dry and tasteless dish, the fish must be properly marinated. To do this, it must first be cleaned, gutted and washed. Then the fish is cut into small pieces of square shape with a side of 4 cm. At the same time, all bones are extracted from them, trying not to destroy the structure. Next, sprinkle with seasoning and leave to infuse for half an hour.
At this point, you need to prepare a special sauce based on homemade mayonnaise. It is with him that we bake pink salmon in the oven, using it as gravy. To prepare it, you need to use an blender to beat the egg, vegetable oil, spinach leaves and salt with pepper. As part of this sauce, we also rub the fish and let it brew for about 15 minutes.

Before proceeding to the stage when we are already baking pink salmon in the oven, it is necessary to choose the right dishes. In this option, a deep baking sheet or pan with metal handles will be convenient. It is desirable that the selected container has thick walls.
First, grease it with vegetable oil, and then spread the layer of potatoes. Some cooks prefer to boil a little vegetable first, to reduce cooking time and prevent the fish from drying out. However, this recipe is not worth it. We spread the onion sliced into rings with the next layer, so when we bake pink salmon in the oven, it serves as a kind of absorbent that will eliminate unpleasant odors of dampness and give a pleasant aroma. Then grease the top layer with the prepared sauce, and put the fish on it. The remaining gravy is simply poured on top, and we can still lay one layer of potatoes.
Roasting
After the dish is formed, place it in the oven, preheated to 160 degrees. After that, bake pink salmon in the oven for thirty minutes. When the allotted time passes, we take the dish out of the oven and jam it with hard cheese. Then we again place it in the oven, where we cook until the crust appears.
Innings
To the table such a fish is best served already laid out on plates. This will help to avoid unpleasant consequences in the form of greasy stains on the tablecloth, if guests do so. It should be noted that the dish tastes good both in cold and in hot form. Dry white wine or vegetable juice is well suited for it.
