Casserole of pink salmon steaks with sour cream and vegetables

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake pink salmon with potatoes in the oven? Prepare your food. I bought ready-made pink salmon steaks. If you have a whole fish, you need to clean it. Remove the fins and head, cut, gut the inside, remove the inner film. Wash, dry and cut into small portions. You will also need four medium-sized potatoes, a small onion and two medium tomatoes. Any hard cheese will do, as long as it’s tasty.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into rings approximately 5 mm thick. Cut the peeled onion into thin rings. Also cut the tomatoes into slices, washed and dried with paper towels. To prevent tomatoes from falling apart when slicing, choose dense fruits.

3. STEP 3

   

   Lightly grease a mold or small baking sheet with high sides with refined vegetable oil. You can use a round, oval or any other shaped ovenproof dish with a diameter of about 22-25 cm.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place potato slices as the first layer. Salt and pepper them. Sprinkle with dry aromatic herbs if desired. You can use ready-made spices intended for fish dishes. In this case, be sure to read the ingredients. If there is salt, take this into account when salting the dish, otherwise you risk over-salting.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place fish steaks on top.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place onion rings on steaks.

7. STEP 7

   

   Lubricate the onion with sour cream of any fat content. You can replace it with natural yogurt without additives, cream or mayonnaise. If you want, add garlic (1-2 cloves) passed through a press to the sauce.

8. STEP 8

   

   Arrange the tomato slices.

9. STEP 9

   

   Grate hard cheese on a coarse or medium grater. Sprinkle it over the tomatoes. Hard cheese can be replaced with mozzarella.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cover the pan with foil. Press its edges well against the sides of the dish so that there are no gaps. Preheat the oven in advance (10-15 minutes before cooking) to 180 degrees. Place the pan in there and bake the dish for approximately 50-60 minutes. The time and temperature may need to be adjusted as each oven bakes differently. How to determine the readiness of a dish? Try the potatoes. It should break easily when pressed with a fork.

11. STEP 11

    

    I recommend removing the foil 5-10 minutes before the end of cooking. Then return the pan to the oven and continue baking until the cheese crust is golden brown. Remove the pan with the finished fish and potatoes. Divide among plates and serve immediately while hot. You can sprinkle chopped dill on top.
