I took the recipe “baked tuna in the oven in foil” as a basis and made salmon according to this recipe. Having all the products in stock, this was not difficult. I cleaned the whole salmon from scales, took out the insides, washed them and sprinkled them with salt and ground black pepper. I prepared a marinade from mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and chopped dill. I salted the marinade a little and added pepper. I marinated the salmon carcass in sour cream sauce and left it for half an hour. Then wrapped in foil and baked in the oven for 20 minutes. I decided not to let it turn brown, as I was afraid of drying out the fish. Whole salmon in sour cream, additionally sprinkled with fresh lemon juice and served. The result was an incredibly juicy and tasty fish. This sauce is ideal for baking fish. The combination of dill, garlic and sour cream is excellent. An incredibly aromatic and appetizing dish turned out for dinner. Many thanks to the author!

I cooked the tuna for more than an hour, but the meat was still a bit tough, it’s a pity, although it was delicious with sour cream
