Baking pink salmon in any chosen version is not very difficult, but it is very responsible.

To avoid making accidental mistakes, it is advisable to use useful tips and practical recommendations:

when determining the quality of pink salmon, you should pay attention to the belly of the fish (in a fresh carcass it will be light, for an old specimen it is characterized by a yellow tint with the presence of rancid fat), the presence of scales with a light silver tint, as well as the tightness of the skin to the flesh of the fish;
A pleasant surprise awaits the owner after purchasing pink salmon with a soft pink belly. This coloring of the lower part of the carcass may indicate the probable presence of caviar in the fish;
a dish cooked in the oven will not turn out dry if the frozen pink salmon is not completely thawed, but the bones are removed from it and baked in a semi-frozen state;
when using fresh fish, the issue of preparing a juicy treat can be solved with the help of one trick: before putting pink salmon in the oven, you need to put a few small ice cubes on the fillet;
to obtain especially tender and rosy fish when baked in foil, pink salmon and other components must be placed on the glossy side of metal paper;
Freshly squeezed lemon juice is considered a universal seasoning for any seafood. It is this p that best emphasizes the taste of noble fish;
To enhance the aroma and piquant properties of the spices used, they must be mixed with table salt before use. This combination promotes maximum release of essential oils from the spices;
The best decoration for pink salmon baked in the oven along with carrots and onions is greens.
