How to bake a pink salmon with lemon in an oven in foil? First, prepare all the necessary ingredients. Turn on the oven 180 degrees beforehand. Wash the lemon and onions. If necessary, clean the fish and gut. Remove the head if the fish is not decapitated, as well as the gills. They can give an unpleasant bitter taste to ready-made fish.

Dry the fish thoroughly, cut off the fins. If you wish, you can cut the tail, I do not do it. On two sides on the fish carcass, cut through 1-2 cm. Salt the fish and pepper on all sides, as well as inside. Pay special attention to the places of cuts.

Roughly cut the spring onions, cut the white part of the onions into halves. Grind the garlic in a way that suits you. Cut the lemon into circles or half rings. It all depends on the size of the fish and lemon. The main thing is that the lemon wedges fit into the cuts on the fish.

Cover the baking sheet with foil. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over the foil and spread it over the entire surface. Fill the belly of the fish with chopped spring onions, garlic, basil leaves and a couple of pieces of lemon.

Put slices of lemon in the incisions. Top with the remaining olive oil. Wrap the pink salmon in foil so that it fits tightly to the fish. Bake the pink salmon in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes.
