How to bake sockeye salmon in the oven? To make delicious and juicy red fish in the oven, prepare the necessary ingredients.

Rinse the sockeye salmon fillet thoroughly in running water. Cut into steaks of equal thickness. There should be 4-5 steaks. It is most convenient to cut slightly frozen fish - this is how the sections will turn out to be even. Therefore, if the fish is fresh, put the fillet in the freezer for 30-40 minutes or a little longer. And if frozen, cut until finally thawed. If you already have frozen steaks chopped, just defrost them in the fridge beforehand.

In a small bowl, combine the fish spices, salt and black ground pepper. When using a ready-made mixture of spices for fish, be sure to read the composition on the packaging. Often, salt and pepper are already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk salting and pepper the dish.

Grease the fish steaks on all sides with lemon juice and rub with the spice mixture. Leave the fish to marinate for 1 hour. Under the influence of lemon juice, the color of the fillet will change a little - it will not become so bright red and fade.

Shake the fish steaks off excess lemon juice. Transfer the steaks to a roasting tin and brush generously with olive oil. Place the sockeye salmon in the oven preheated to 200 ° C for 15 minutes. If desired, you can leave the fish in the cooling oven for another 5-7 minutes.

Remove the sockeye salmon from the oven. Put a small slice of butter on each steak.

Serve the fish with herbs, tomato quarters and red onions and serve. Enjoy your meal!
