Pink salmon is a representative of salmon living in the waters of the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. For life, she needs cold water (9-10 degrees). Pink salmon lays eggs in nearby rivers. Her caviar is a valuable product. It is salted and canned. Fish meat is also a nutritious product. From this fish you can cook a large number of dishes.
When comparing pink salmon with salmon or trout, it should be noted that it has a somewhat dry meat. To make the dish tasty and juicy, you can use the following recipe.
Naturally, before cooking it is necessary to clean the fish and wash thoroughly. Then the pink salmon should be cut into pieces equal to approximately one serving. After this, you should prepare the marinade, in which the fish will marinate for 10-15 minutes. For the marinade we take: half a tablespoon of white wine, a tablespoon of lemon juice, two teaspoons of soy sauce and about two teaspoons of mustard. Mix thoroughly and add spices and salt to taste. Pour the chopped fish with this mixture and leave to marinate.
Next, you need to fry the pieces of fish in a pan from two sides to give it a golden crust. Such roasting also allows you to save all the juices in the fish during further cooking. Put the fried fish on a plate. Cut the tomatoes into medium sized slices, onion in half rings and lightly pass the whole on a frying pan. At this time, we make a sauce of sour cream and garlic, which is coated with fried fish. We take about three tablespoons of sour cream and squeeze into it through a press two cloves of garlic. Mix everything and coat the fried fish with the resulting sauce.
We spread pink salmon on the vegetable mixture, sprinkle with grated cheese on top and send to the oven. Cooking time takes about 15-20 minutes. The amount of ingredients is given per kilogram of fish. Pink salmon with vegetables is juicy and tasty. When serving, you can decorate it with greens and lemon.
Dishes from pink salmon fish are distinguished by their taste and low calorie content. Fried pink salmon goes well with many vegetables, and rice can be served as a side dish.
We offer another original recipe for this fish. Take the fillet of pink salmon (0.5 kg) and cut it into medium pieces. If desired, you can use any spices. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin circles. We do the same with carrots. Onions must be peeled and cut into half rings. Then prepare the fill. To do this, you need to take the juice of half a lemon, about two teaspoons of mustard, one hundred grams of mayonnaise, salt and other spices to taste. All components should be mixed thoroughly. We put in a cooked dish, alternating a row of fish, a row of potatoes and add carrots and onions between them. Pour the cooked sauce over the dish and put in the oven for about 45 minutes. You need to try so that the potatoes are not raw, as the fish cooks faster. When serving, you can decorate this dish with herbs.
Fried pink salmon in a pan may turn out to be a bit dry. Therefore, we recommend preparing various sauces for it. For their base, fish broth is usually taken . The sauce can be white or with the addition of tomato. Also, chopped vegetables are added to it. Champignon mushrooms are the most suitable for use in fish sauce .
The simplest recipe for the sauce is flour, fried in butter, with the addition of fish broth. If desired, you can season the sauce with white wine, which goes well with fish dishes. Fried pink salmon is watered with it and served with lemon and herbs.
Pink salmon, like any fish, can be served with any vegetables, herbs, olives and capers. Fried pink salmon can be served separately, as an independent dish. But at the same time, be sure to put sauce and vegetables on the table so that everyone can serve their own dish according to their own taste.
