  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to bake ketu in foil in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. It is better to use fresh fish, but if you take frozen fish, it must first be thawed. It is better to do it in the refrigerator. This way the fish will retain its juiciness and proper structure. It is best to leave it overnight in the refrigerator for defrosting. Pepper is better to use freshly ground - it is more fragrant. A sprig of thyme is perfect from the greens.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Start with the marinade. In a separate container, mix oil, salt, pepper and chopped herbs, squeeze lemon juice into the same place. Add the amount of lemon juice, salt and pepper to your liking. Lemon and herbs must be thoroughly washed and dried with a towel before use. Turn on the oven to preheat to 180 degrees.

    Step 3.

    Rinse the ketu thoroughly, gut it, clean it from the films, if there are fins, remove them. Dry with paper towels and cut into 3 portions along the ridge or into steaks. I had ready-made sliced pieces. I washed them, dried them and removed the spinal bone.

    Rub the pieces of chum salmon with the prepared marinade from all sides. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    You can bake both the whole fish in a common foil and each piece separately. I like to do it in portions, it is very convenient when serving. If desired, you can put thin slices of lemon on the fish.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Wrap the pieces of chum salmon in foil, leaving a seam on top. If you have a very thin foil, wrap the fish in two layers.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Transfer the keto to a heat-resistant mold and send it to a preheated 180 degree oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the capabilities of your oven.

Such fish is served hot with any side dish. Keta goes especially well with rice, mashed potatoes and vegetables.

For this recipe, it is better to take not frozen, but fresh fish, otherwise the finished fish risks getting dry.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).

Getting down to cooking a foil-baked dish, consider the features of your oven and be guided by the cooking time according to it, and not by what is written in the recipe. If you are preparing a dish for the first time, follow a few useful tips:
- divide the total cooking time by 4
- open the oven every quarter of the total time and check the degree of readiness of the dish
- don't be afraid to unwrap the foil for a more accurate check
- to unfold the foil more conveniently, always leave a "seam" on top of it
- if you wish, you can determine the degree of readiness without unfolding the foil by making one or two punctures in it with a toothpick
Remember that the quality of the foil also matters.
