Ingredients

Step cooking

1. If pink salmon has been frozen, first defrost it. Before starting cooking, the fish must be cleaned of scales, gutted, cut off the head, tail and all the fins.
   
2. Then separate the fish fillet from the ridge and remove large bones.
   
3. On a cutting board, cut the fillet into portioned slices, approximately 6 pieces per fillet. Lightly add salt to the fish.
   
4. Cut the lemon in half and sprinkle the fish, squeezing the juice.
   
5. Sprinkle with black ground pepper to taste to taste. Optionally, you can use other spices suitable for fish.
   
6. Peel the onion and cut it into quarter rings or half rings on the second board, as you wish.
   
7. Wash the tomato, cut in half and cut into slices.
   
8. Peel and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
   
9. Approximately 100 g of hard cheese is also grated on a coarse grater.
   
10. Now prepare the sour cream sauce. To do this, mix in a deep plate 4-5 tbsp. l sour cream and about 2 tbsp. l milk. If desired, instead of sour cream, you can take mayonnaise, then dilute it with water. Mix everything well.
    
11. Then pour into the pan about 1-2 tbsp. l vegetable oil, pour chopped onion into it and fry on low heat until light golden color, stirring.
    
12. Once the onion is browned, add the carrots to it and lightly salt it. Cook the onions and carrots in a pan for about 1-2 minutes, stirring. Then let the fry cool completely.
    
13. When the onions and carrots have cooled, turn on the oven to warm up to 200 ºС. Meanwhile, lightly grease the baking dish with a silicone oil or a spoon.
    
14. Put the fish at the bottom of the mold in rows and pour plenty of sour cream sauce.
    
15. Spread the onion and carrot fry evenly over the fish.
    
16. On each piece of fish, put a piece of tomato and sprinkle with grated cheese.
    
17. Send your fish to be baked in a preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the fish is ready and the cheese is golden brown. Cooking time may vary depending on the form you use. Check the readiness of the fish with a knife: if the juice is pink - the fish is not ready, if transparent - ready.
    

If you want to add piquancy to a pink salmon dish, then use chopped garlic for sour cream sauce.

Serve pink salmon, baked with cheese and tomatoes, as an independent dish on a salad leaf and decorated with greens. Also, rice with vegetables, potatoes or just fresh vegetables are good for this fish.
