Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake pink salmon with cheese in the oven? Prepare your food. The fish is suitable either whole or in the form of steaks or fillets. Defrost it first by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

Step 2

Step 2
If you have a whole carcass, then cut it into portions, first cutting off the head and gutting the belly. Rinse the pieces under water and then dry them with a paper towel — excess moisture will make the dish watery. Season the fish with salt and ground black pepper on each side. You can also use any seasonings you like.

Step 3

Step 3
Take a baking dish and place pink salmon pieces into it. You can line it with foil to make it easier to clean later. Sprinkle lemon juice on top of the fish — it will soften the taste and add a pleasant aroma to the dish. Lubricate each piece with mayonnaise. Instead of mayonnaise, you can use sour cream. Grate the cheese on a medium grater.
