Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to bake juicy pink salmon in sour cream in the oven? Prepare the necessary products. Take fresh fish whenever possible. If this is not possible, then first remove the fish from the freezer and leave it to defrost at room temperature. I used sour cream with 15% fat content. Two small onions can be replaced with one large one. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the defrosted fish under running water and remove scales. I usually take a large bag and clean it in the bag, so the scales stay in the bag and not around. Cut off the head, tail, fins. Gut the fish, then rinse it again under running water. Cut the fish carcass into portions 2 — 3 cm thick.

Step 3

Step 3
Grease the bottom of the pan in which the fish will be baked with oil so that the fish does not stick to it during cooking. If desired, the pan can be lined with foil. Place the prepared pieces of pink salmon. Salt and pepper the fish, distributing the spices evenly over each piece. Leave the fish to marinate a little for about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Step 4
Meanwhile, peel the onion and cut it into half rings. Place the chopped onion evenly on top of the fish. If the carcass is large, then the amount of onions can be increased.

Step 5

Step 5
Spread the sour cream evenly over the entire surface of the fish and add a little water. Since the fish will be cooked without a lid, the moisture will evaporate and to prevent the fish from turning out dry, add a little water. If you cover the fish with a lid or foil, you don’t need to add water. Place the dish with the fish in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30-45 minutes. The exact time depends on the features of your oven. Bon appetit!
