Step 1:
How to bake salmon in the oven? Prepare the products. Pay special attention to the choice of fish. The priority, of course, is chilled salmon. Frozen fish contains much less nutrients. You also need to know how to defrost the fish properly: after the freezer, put it in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours and only then completely defrost it at room temperature.
Step 2:
Wash the fish well, dry it. I have a salmon steak, but it can be just a fillet of fish.
Step 3:
Pour soy sauce over the fish. Pay special attention to the choice of soy sauce. Now there are a lot of cheap fakes of this product in stores. Choose soy sauce of natural fermentation. Even better, if it is soy sauce, which is recommended to be used specifically for marinade.
Step 4:
We will only need juice from lemon, so we can take ready-made lemon juice from factory production. If you squeeze the juice directly from the lemon, pre—wash it with very hot water - so the lemon will give more juice. Pour the juice over the fish, while using a small strainer so that the bones do not get on it.
Step 5:
Pour vegetable oil over the fish. It can be any vegetable to your taste. I have sesame oil — it's perfect for marinades. Also at this stage, you can add some of your favorite herbs or seasonings to the fish: allspice, oregano, garlic powder. In my opinion, such a noble fish as salmon does not need a lot of seasonings.
Step 6:
Leave the fish to marinate for 20-30 minutes. About the salt: I didn't salt the fish, as the soy sauce is already salty enough. But in this matter, focus on your taste.
Step 7:
Put the fish in a heat-resistant mold. Bake in a preheated 180 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Focus on the size of your fish. For a more delicate texture of the fish, I advise you to cover the top of the mold with foil.
Step 8:
Delicious and tender salmon is ready. Serve it hot, fresh or baked vegetables are perfect for garnish. Bon appetit!

When adding soy sauce to a dish, it is worth considering that it has a rather salty taste. Reduce the total amount of salt, otherwise you risk over-salting.

How to properly cut a whole fish into fillets? Remove the tail, head and fins. Cut the carcass along the spine to the spine. Turn it on its side. With a sharp knife, cut the meat from the backbone bone. Turn the carcass over and cut the fillet from the other side. Clean the inside by removing the black film, as it is bitter and will spoil the taste. Rinse and be sure to dry well.
