Salmon baked in the oven
4 servings
40 minutes
Oven-baked salmon is a gourmet dish that harmoniously combines the tenderness of fish, the freshness of citrus fruits, and the spicy notes of seasonings. Baked with rings of sweet pepper, it acquires appetizing juiciness and a subtle aroma, while a light touch of soy sauce and lemon juice adds zest. The dish has roots in British cuisine, where simplicity and natural flavors are valued. Baking preserves all the beneficial properties of salmon, making it an ideal choice for a light dinner or festive table. Sesame oil adds a delicate nutty note, while the combination of oregano, basil, and black pepper deepens and enriches the flavor. This dish requires no complex manipulations but impresses with its elegance and richness of flavor notes.

Preheat the oven to 180–200 degrees. Grease the baking dish with a small amount (less than a teaspoon) of sesame oil, place the fillet, put red pepper between the fish pieces, drizzle with soy sauce, squeeze lemon on top, ensuring no seeds get in (they add bitterness), sprinkle with seasoning, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
