Step cooking

1. Take the gutted carcass of pink salmon. Wash it well under running water and dip it with paper towels. Cut the pink salmon into steaks about 2 cm wide and put in a bowl.
   
2. Salt pink salmon to taste. Add black ground pepper to taste. Instead of black pepper, you can take any spices and herbs that you like.
   
3. Wash and scald lemon with boiling water. Cut it into halves. We pour pink salmon over the juice of half a lemon.
   
4. Mix the steaks with your hands and leave for about 20 minutes, so that the fish is soaked and marinated.
   
5. In the meantime, boil broccoli. Pour water into a pot and set on fire. When the water boils, we add it a little. Take 400 g of frozen broccoli and throw in boiling water. We do not need to boil the broccoli completely, we only need to boil it. Therefore, after 1-2 minutes, remove the broccoli pan from the heat and drain the water through a colander.
   
6. After 20 minutes, put the fish in a glass refractory baking dish. You need to try to lay out the pieces in one layer.
   
7. We put broccoli in a baking dish, filling the space between the pieces of fish.
   
8. Top it with a glass of 10% cream.
   
9. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and send the form into it for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, three hard cheese (100-150 g) on ​​a medium grater.
   
10. After 15 minutes, we take our dish out of the oven and sprinkle with grated cheese (mainly pink salmon).
    
11. Send the dish back for another 15 minutes to melt the cheese.
    

Ways of decorating and serving

• Baked pink salmon is well served with dry white wine. But, given the preference of guests and hosts, it is possible with pink semi-dry.
• Baked pink salmon is best served hot, removed from the oven immediately before serving.
• They will make the dish more festive and give it an additional taste of “ladybugs” made from small round tomatoes and planted on each steak. In order to make a "ladybug" you need to cut the tomato in half. Next, make a recess along the “back” in the center. Spots on the “back” can be made using dots of mayonnaise, or by sticking a few buds of clove spice. Make the head out of olives, cutting them first along and then across. It will be effectively planted on a small piece of lettuce.
• In addition, a dish with pink salmon, baked in cream, can be decorated with several "roses" of tomatoes. To do this, remove a thin continuous spiral chip from a large tomato. Then, starting from one of the edges, we turn the spiral into a tube. As a result, we get a small magnificent rose.
