Red fish in foil baked in the oven with lemon

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake red fish in the oven? Prepare your ingredients. If you have frozen fish, defrost it by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Choose a set of spices according to your taste and preferences.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the red fish (I have fresh frozen trout) thoroughly, clean it of films, and if there are fins, remove them. Cut into portions along the ridge or into steaks. Salt and pepper the fish. You can use any red fish: trout, salmon or pink salmon. It is worth considering that if you use pink salmon, then this fish is not as fatty as salmon and trout, so you additionally need to lubricate the fish with vegetable oil.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut half a lemon into thin slices. Citrus fruits complement the taste of fish well, which in itself is almost tasteless. At the same time, red fish absorbs the aromas of spices well and its taste often depends on what accompanying products it will be cooked with. Fish and lemon and/or lemon juice is a classic combination that is required in most recipes that involve fish.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onion and cut into rings or half rings. Onions will add juiciness and a pleasant aroma to the fish.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place a double sheet of foil in a small baking dish. This is necessary so that the foil does not tear and the juice from the dish does not flow out of the envelope. Spread the chopped onion on top. Place bay leaves and peppercorns on the onion.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place lemon slices on top. A layer of onion and lemon during baking protects the fish from direct contact with the hot pan, so it does not burn or dry out.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place fish fillets on lemon slices. Top the fish with lemon juice.

8. STEP 8

   

   Carefully wrap the fish in foil, carefully gathering the edges over it so that the juice does not leak out during baking. Place the fish in an oven preheated to 200°C for 25 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Carefully, so as not to burn yourself, unwrap the foil envelope and serve the fish along with the onions and lemon to the table. If desired, you can sprinkle the dish with fresh herbs. Bon appetit!

Thanks for the recipe. I saw it, remembered it and prepared it. Red fish with lemon in foil is very versatile, you can cook it in pieces or whole or in steaks - I just have a piece of fillet in one envelope for two servings. I serve fresh herbs with the fish and always lemon slices so that the flesh of the red fish can be sprinkled with lemon juice.

What a delicious fish! When I make this, I grease the foil a little with butter, the butter gives a slightly creamy taste and the fish won’t stick)))
