Original version with cheese crust

Salmon or salmon is the favorite fish of average Russians. The taste of the fish is self-sufficient and does not require sauces, and cooking does not take much time. Salmon is used to prepare salads, first and second courses, cold and hot appetizers.

This fish contains potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamins A, E and group B, including Omega-3 fatty acid. These substances enter the human body within an hour after consumption. Thus, including salmon dishes in the diet reduces cholesterol levels, improves the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels, and has a beneficial effect on the figure, despite the calorie content, since salmon fats do not accumulate in the human body.

Salmon also has disadvantages that require special attention. Firstly, according to research, salmon can accumulate mercury in their meat throughout their life. Secondly, in order to improve the appearance of the product, during artificial hatching, the fish are tinted or fed with tinting substances, which is harmful to humans. Therefore, it is important to choose the right steaks and carcasses when purchasing.

How to choose salmon

It is important to determine the freshness of the fish, but this factor is not the only main criterion. It will be equally necessary to determine the type of fish: salmon or salmon. Unscrupulous sellers sometimes cheat and pass off cheap colored fish as salmon, and the coloring is harmful to both human health and the taste of the dish.
Today, store shelves are filled with different fish. These are fresh, chilled or frozen carcasses, cut and uncut, fillets, portioned steaks “pieces”, which are equal in thickness to 2-3 steaks, as well as the tail and head, suitable for preparing first courses.

If the salmon is presented as a whole carcass, take a closer look at the head. Salmon have a pointed head. In addition, the scales are large, and there are no black spots on the surface, like trout. Pay close attention to the following parameters:

• The color of the fillet is bright or pale. Preference should be given to pale fish, because... there is a high probability that such fish were raised in natural conditions. But this parameter is not accurate, because the color of meat is influenced by many factors. The “correct” fish has white veins;
• Date of cutting or packaging. Chilled fish is stored for 14 days;
  The structure of chilled meat is elastic and does not deform when pressed with a finger;
• Another indicator of the freshness of uncut fish is the eyes. Fresh fish have clean, not cloudy eyes, and a moist tail. Also pay attention to the shine of the fish. If it is excessively shiny, the fish has probably been chemically treated to extend its shelf life;
• Naturally, the carcass should not be slippery, and the packaging should not be torn or damaged;
• Fresh fish smells like the sea.

The content of the article:

Salmon needs no introduction. Many people know and love her for her exquisite taste. Well, the comprehensive benefits of fish have long been scientifically proven. Thanks to a huge number of microelements, it can strengthen the immune system, normalize blood pressure, improve memory, the condition of the liver and digestive system. And recent studies have proven that regular consumption of salmon is an excellent prevention of cancer and thrombophlebitis.

In addition, salmon is rich in vitamin B6, which during PMS, menopause and pregnancy, significantly improves the condition of the internal female organs, preventing the risk of developing gynecological cancer. For men, this vitamin is also useful, especially in solving infertility problems. Vitamin D found in fish strengthens muscle and bone tissue, E is an excellent antioxidant, B 12 improves blood condition.

How to choose salmon?

For eating salmon to truly benefit our health, it is advisable to buy fresh fish. It should not contain a pronounced fishy aroma. If there is one, then it is better to refuse the purchase. And since salmon must be stored under certain conditions, preference should be given to those stores that have a certificate for storing such products.

A fresh carcass should have a bright silver color on its sides and belly, and an iridescent black on its back. The salmon is black with colored spots and says it was caught during the spawning period. The meat of such an individual is tasteless and has practically no beneficial properties.

1. It is advisable to marinate salmon, fillets or steaks before cooking. The marinade will make it more tender and give it a special taste.
2. For the marinade, use fresh lemon juice, vegetable or olive oil, aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary, cilantro), salt and pepper. They perfectly complement the taste of salmon. But here it is important not to overdo it with spices, so that they do not overpower the taste of the fish and spoil the dish.
3. Only 15–20 minutes will be enough to marinate the fish. If you overcook it, it may fall apart during cooking. Since the acid of lemon juice, when frying fish, destroys the protein in its cells, which makes the meat softer and begins to disintegrate.
4. The cooking temperature is determined “by touch” - it will be difficult to hold your palm over the frying pan or grill. In the oven, the temperature is usually set at 180 °C.
5. The degree of frying of the fish is determined by pressing its flesh with your finger, which should spring back. You can also pierce the surface of the finished fish; if the protein comes out, it means it is ready.
6. To prevent the fish from sticking to the frying pan or grill, they should be heated well, and the oven tray should be lightly greased with oil.

How to fry salmon steak on a grill pan

Frying fish meat is very simple. But the question is: what is the best marinade to use in this case? After all, you don’t just want to throw the fish into a frying pan and fry it, but get a delicious dish.

I have selected, in my opinion, 4 of the best marinades: soy, Provençal, beer and honey

Well, you, friends, choose from them which one you like best. Although, I’ll tell you a secret that I prefer honey and Provençal marinades. But tastes are different. Therefore, after trying and evaluating them, be sure to leave feedback about them in the comments.

I will describe to you a recipe for preparing enough marinade to marinate 1 good steak. If you have more, increase proportionally.

Before cooking, first rinse the meat and dry it with a napkin. Then salt each steak on both sides. It is better to use coarse or medium salt for this. This way you won't oversalt the fish.

When the marinade is ready, place the salmon on a plate and pour it over the fish. And then leave the meat to marinate for half an hour.

Next, remove the steak from the marinade. Using a paper kitchen towel, remove “flammable foods” from the meat - garlic, parsley, etc. When frying the fish, they will burn, causing the dish to lose its aesthetic appearance.

The salmon fries extremely quickly. If the pieces are thick, fry them for 5 minutes on each side. But before that, sprinkle a little with vegetable oil (in general, you can’t do without oil).

If you have a gas grill pan, you can also fry salmon in it. Read about the cooking features.

1 marinade: Provençal

It gets its name because it uses a blend of Herbes de Provence spices. Squeeze the juice from a quarter of a lemon, add 1.5 tsp. "Provencal herbs". And mix it all with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Then add 1 tsp to the mixture. sugar. Mix everything well until the sugar dissolves.

2 marinade: Honey

This is a virtually foolproof pickling option. This marinade has a light, unobtrusive honey aroma.

We will prepare the marinade with lemon. First, squeeze the juice from ¼ of the lemon + grate the zest. Add 1 tbsp. honey and 2 tbsp. olive oil. Grate or finely chop a clove of garlic. Add a little dried chili pepper (literally 1/3 tsp or a little less if you don’t like it spicy). If you have it, add some chopped fresh parsley. Add a little salt to the mixture and mix well.

3 marinade: Beer

In this marinade, the fish will be drop dead soft with a slight onion flavor. You can hardly feel the beer, just a slight aftertaste. Therefore, you will not be intoxicated after eating such food :)

Take 5-6 tbsp. fresh live beer and 1 pc. small onion. Also prepare salt, 1 tsp. sugar without a slide and pepper. Pour beer into a small bowl, add finely chopped onions. Then add sugar, add a little salt and pepper. Mix everything until the sugar dissolves. Leave for 15 minutes.

After marinating, remove the onions from the fish. Then place the product in a heated frying pan.

4 marinade: Soy

It is characterized by a combination of salty and sweet. Mix about 2-3 tbsp soy sauce with 1 tsp. sugar. There is no need to add salt because soy sauce is already salty. Now add 1-2 tbsp. olive oil. Mix everything until the sugar dissolves. Finely chop a clove of garlic and add to the marinade. And let it brew for 10 minutes so that all the ingredients reveal their aroma. And then we marinate the fish.

How to fry salmon in a frying pan with sour cream

List of products that will be needed:

• 500 g salmon fillet with skin;
• a couple of sprigs of dill;
• 3-4 tbsp. sour cream;
• seasoning for fish + salt;
• vegetable oil.

Remove the skin from the fish and cut it into pieces 2.5-4 cm wide. Sprinkle the salmon with spices and add salt. Then place it in a heated frying pan with a small amount of oil. Don’t pour too much, because the fish is already fatty.

Fry the pieces on each side for literally 2-3 minutes. Turn the salmon over very carefully so that the fish does not fall apart. Is there a fear that the salmon will not have time to fry from the inside during this time? Then cover the pan with a lid.

Chop the dill and mix it with sour cream. Pour this delicious mixture over each piece of fish in the pan and fry for another 1-2 minutes. Then turn the fish over again and wait for the sour cream sauce to boil. That's all, the delicious dish is ready. Serve it with stewed or fresh vegetables.

How to choose the right salmon

In stores, this king fish is usually sold chilled or frozen. In both the first and second cases, it is impossible to do without a thorough examination of the salmon.

• Fillet of fresh salmon, pale orange in color.
• Try the fish by touch by lightly pressing on the carcass with your finger. The fresh product has no indentations, and the carcass takes its original shape.
• Be sure to smell the salmon. The fresh product has virtually no odor.
• Look into the salmon's eyes. They must be clean, without any films. If suddenly during inspection you find a film, I do not recommend buying such a fish. Perhaps she is even your same age :)

And if you buy salmon in pieces, make sure that the bones do not lag behind the fillet. Because this is a clear sign that the fish has been stale for a long time.

But that's not all. According to the current standards in our country, fish should be stored in ice for about two weeks. Therefore, ask the seller about the delivery time of the goods. In general, if all the signs of freshness of the fish are obvious, feel free to buy it.

I am sure that you, my dear readers, have your own “chest” of culinary recipes. Tell us in the comments how you cook salmon in a frying pan. And don't forget. I tell you: bye-bye, my cooks!

Salmon is deservedly classified as a gourmet product, which means that salmon dishes have excellent taste properties.

As a rule, their preparation does not take too much time, and the taste is simply excellent. Fish from the salmon family goes perfectly with many side dishes and vegetables. You can also serve it with sauce, which will give the salmon an even richer taste.

This fish is literally loaded with vitamins, healthy fats, high-quality proteins, microelements and other beneficial compounds. Salmon fillet included in the diet gradually reduces cholesterol in the blood, strengthens the cardiovascular system, prevents the formation of blood clots and vascular accidents, and improves blood circulation, including cerebral circulation.

In addition, the thyroid gland, due to its high iodine content, the nervous system, and general metabolism also come under its beneficial influence. And the selenium contained in salmon, being a powerful antioxidant, slows down the aging of the body and protects it from the negative effects of free radicals.

Fish comes to the retail chain fresh, frozen, filleted, smoked and lightly salted. Fresh fillets should not have a pronounced fishy smell and should have an elastic, resilient structure - this should be taken into account when purchasing salmon. It is recommended to grill fish meat or bake it in foil, but under no circumstances fry it, since salmon loses most of its beneficial components during the frying process.

Smoked or lightly salted fish does not require heat treatment, since it is already ready to eat. It is great for preparing various salads, omelettes, canapés, and is simply an excellent snack. The shelf life of such salmon in vacuum packaging is two months. An opened package shortens the “life” of the delicacy to only 24-36 hours.

Include tender pink fillet in your diet, and you will certainly feel a surge of energy, strength and health! And we’ll talk about how to diversify salmon dishes.

During this time, you will have time to cut the salmon into large pieces, which you place in the fish soup and cook for another 10 minutes. Whisk the cream together with the flour and pour it into the pan after 10 minutes, bring the fish soup to a boil and immediately remove from the stove. Sprinkle the finished dish with herbs. Delicious and original food can be served to the table!

Salmon is always tasty without exception and extremely healthy. However, fish grown in artificial reservoirs have almost half as many nutrients as those grown in natural conditions. Therefore, when purchasing, always ask the seller about the origin of the fish.

Another useful tip: never heat salmon for a long time, so as not to upset the balance of active components in it. A 10-15 minute heat treatment is enough and the royal fish, which has retained a treasure trove of useful elements, is ready!
