Preparation
Step 1
Instead of pink salmon, you can use any red or white fish, fresh or frozen. Frozen fish must be properly defrosted in the refrigerator (bottom shelf).
Step 2
Rinse the fish thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels. It's best to use ready-made portioned steaks. If you have a whole fillet, it's easiest to slice it into steaks while still slightly frozen – the cuts will be cleaner. I used pre-sliced steaks.
Step 3
Add vegetable oil, lemon juice, dried herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper to the fish. Mix everything thoroughly. Add bay leaves. Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes. Since everyone has different preferences for saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, and acidity - always season according to your own taste!
Step 4
Line a baking tray with a sheet of foil. Arrange the marinated fish on top.
Step 5
Optionally, place lemon slices and cherry tomatoes between the fish steaks - more for visual appeal than flavor.
Step 6
Cover the fish with a second sheet of foil and tightly seal the edges so the juices don't leak out during baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 25–30 minutes. Enjoy your meal!
