Pink salmon dishes are always a great dinner or lunch. They have a delicate taste. The meat of this fish nourishes our body with nutrients that stimulate the work of the heart and brain. Nutritionists recommend it for nutrition of people who monitor their weight and health. In addition, this is a good alternative to expensive varieties of red fish.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
When choosing pink salmon for baking, you need to remember that the most optimal option is freshly frozen. Chilled from the Far East, it is unlikely to get to our shelves, and unscrupulous distributors often give out a “chilled” defrosted to sell it more expensive. Freshly frozen carcasses have a uniform color without visible damage, bruising and yellow spots (they indicate repeated freezing and prolonged inappropriate storage).
Did you know? Pink salmon belongs to the second culinary group of sturgeons along with salmon, trout, sockeye salmon, chum salmon, chinook salmon, sima, and sesame. The first group includes sturgeon species of fish that live in the Caspian and Black Sea (sturgeon, stellate sturgeon, sterlet, beluga, spike). There is a third group — these are white salmon species (coho salmon, taimen, nelma, whitefish).
If the carcass is with a head, the eyes should not be cloudy or sunken. When acquiring chilled pink salmon, press on the carcass with your finger; if the cavity remains, it is not the first freshness or has been defrosted. Take a look at the gills - they should have a natural pink or red, not gray.
