Salmon in cream sauce in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake salmon in cream sauce in the oven? First of all, prepare all the products. It is better to use fresh fish that has not been frozen, then it will turn out very tender and juicy. Instead of salmon, it is permissible to use more affordable fish such as chum salmon, sockeye salmon, pink salmon, etc. The taste of the dish will be slightly different, but no less healthy. So, gut the carcass, remove scales and rinse. Pat salmon dry with paper towels.

2. STEP 2

   

   Fillet the fish. Remove the film from the inside and remove the seeds. The head, tail and fins can be frozen and later cooked into aromatic fish broth (do not forget to remove the gills from the head in this case). If you are using store-bought ready-made fillets, remove the scales and rinse them in water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Salt and pepper the fish on both sides to taste.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour a baking dish with a small amount of vegetable or olive oil. Place the salmon fillet. It is important to choose a shape that is suitable in size. Add a couple of sprigs of thyme and a sprig of parsley to the fish (however, you can skip this step).

5. STEP 5

   

   Prepare cream sauce. Pour the cream into a small deep container. It is better to use heavy cream, then the finished fish will turn out very tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the pressed garlic, mustard and fresh thyme leaves to the cream. If desired, use squeezed lemon juice. It will add sourness and fresh notes. Mix everything.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the resulting sauce over the fish.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the baking dish in a preheated oven and leave for 20 minutes at 200 degrees. Use the "top-bottom" mode. If possible, 5 minutes before the end of cooking, turn on the “convection” mode. Attention! The baking time and temperature may differ from those indicated in the recipe; be guided entirely by the capabilities of your oven.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the finished fish with sauce to a plate and pour creamy sauce on top. Serve as a separate dish or in addition to boiled rice.

This fish turns out incredibly tasty! Thank you! Salmon or any other red fish can be baked this way. Cream is replaced with milk.
