Coho salmon steak - useful tips and tricks
• The coho salmon baked in the oven will turn out to be juicy and tender if rubbed on top with softened butter.
• Fish does not like prolonged heat treatment. If it is dry in the oven, you need to urgently pour slices of cream, grease with mayonnaise or sour cream, cover the form with foil and leave for a while so that the dish is saturated.
• To prevent fish from sticking to the foil, grease the area under the steak with oil.
• Lemon crusts that remain after squeezing the juice do not need to be thrown away. They will help get rid of fish smell. You need to rub your hands, knives, forks, cutting boards, then rinse everything with cool water.
• If coho salmon is prepared in foil, then at the end you need to open it for a few minutes. Let the steak cover with a delicious crust.
• It is undesirable to fry a “naked” steak in oil. It is better to roll coho salmon in flour so that a golden crust appears on the fish quickly. She gives not only an appetizing look, but also preserves the juiciness.
