Pink salmon baked with lemon in the oven in foil

Satisfying, juicy and original! And the smell! It's impossible to resist! Alas, there are people in the world who do not like fish. How unlucky they were! After all, they will not just not be able to taste this chic food - tuna salad, fragrant pike soup or what a salmon baked on coals tastes like. In addition, they, without eating fish, deprive themselves of a lot of useful substances and vitamins, which are literally stuffed with any fish. And in general, I think that someone, hearing now that we are going to cook pink salmon in foil today, will even be outraged - why so much fuss with it? After all, this delicious fish can be cooked easier. But let me disagree with you! There is one of the arguments in favor of baked fish. Here it is. According to American scientists from Harvard University Medical School, the constant consumption of such fish reduces the risk of heart arrhythmia!
