Today, many are thinking about how to make their food healthy. For example, everyone knows that fried foods are bad because of excess fat. But few decide to refuse fried, because boiled fish or meat do not have that taste. An excellent alternative is to bake food in the oven. Especially if you use such an interesting invention as a baking sleeve.
You can bake in the sleeve anything you want - meat, vegetables, fish, even meatballs and meatballs. Moreover, food is cooked without adding fat in its own juice.
Such a useful kitchen trifle as a baking sleeve is sold in almost every supermarket. Usually, this product is placed "in the company" of foil, baking paper, cling film and other similar products. The sleeve is produced by different companies, so the price of various samples of this product can vary greatly.
In appearance, the baking sleeve resembles a long plastic bag rolled up into a roll. For use, you will need to cut a piece of the required length, and after filling the sleeve with products, fix its open sides with clips. The filled sleeve can be placed on a baking sheet or in a deep pan. To ensure the release of hot steam, it is worth piercing the sleeve several times on top with a needle or fork.
Consider how to cook fish in a sleeve. Firstly, any fish can be baked in the sleeve. You can put the fish as a whole carcass (of course, having previously cleaned it of scales and viscera), and portioned pieces. You can use ready-made fillet for baking, which is sold in fish stores.
Especially tasty is the fish in the baking sleeve, cooked with vegetables. So, for example, you can bake zander. We clean the fish, wash and dry well with napkins. Salt and pepper inside and out. To give the fish a spicy taste, put a little crushed garlic and a sprig of parsley in its abdomen.
Grind the vegetables. For this dish, you can use potatoes, carrots, onions and other vegetables. It is definitely worth adding greens. Shredded vegetables should be mixed and seasoned with salt and pepper. Now we put the vegetables in the sleeve, on top of the resulting vegetable “pillow” we place the carcass of the prepared zander and close the open sides of the bag. We put the filled sleeve into a deep pan, pierce its surface with a needle or fork so that the steam can escape freely. And put in the oven preheated to two hundred degrees, and bake for about forty-five minutes.
We take the finished dish out of the oven, cut the sleeve with scissors (here you need to be careful not to get burned), and here we have a wonderful diet dish - fish baked in a sleeve with vegetables, cooked in its own juice.
And here is how you can bake mackerel in your sleeve. First, prepare the products. For two mackerels, we need two pieces of carrot, onion and tomato, three potatoes, three tablespoons of mayonnaise, as well as special seasoning for fish, which includes salt.
We clean the fish, wash and grate the seasoning well. If there is no such seasoning, then the mackerel should be salted, pepper and sprinkle with lemon juice. We clean the vegetables and cut into large enough pieces. For example, a medium-sized potato is enough to cut into four parts. Add finely chopped greens to the mayonnaise, stir and grease the fish and vegetables with this mixture. Put everything in a sleeve, tighten the edges with clips and put the fish to bake in the oven for forty minutes. Then cut the bag on top and leave the dish in the oven for another ten minutes. In this case, the fish baked in the sleeve will acquire a golden brown. Put the prepared mackerel and vegetables on a dish and pour over the sauce that was formed during the baking process.
Another interesting recipe that can be categorized as fish baked in a sleeve is called pink salmon stuffed with mushrooms. For one fish weighing about 800 grams, about three hundred grams of champignons, onion, a little mayonnaise, salt and seasonings for the fish will be required.
Fish must be cleaned and washed. Mushrooms are cut into slices, and onions - in half rings. Mix mushrooms, onions and mayonnaise in a bowl. Rub the fish inside and out with salt and seasonings, then we stuff with a mixture of onions and mushrooms. We put the fish in a sleeve, close the free edges and lay out the resulting package on a baking sheet. Bake until cooked, it will take about forty minutes. If you want to get a golden brown crust, then you need to tear off the sleeve from above about ten minutes before the end of the baking period. Our tasty and healthy stuffed fish, baked in a sleeve, is ready. We spread it on a dish and call everyone to the table.
