Baked salmon under onions is a simple yet exquisite dish of Russian cuisine, where tender fish reveals its flavor under an aromatic layer of onions and spices. Salmon, known for its firm meat and slight sweetness, becomes especially juicy when baked. The onion baked with the fish caramelizes, adding softness and sweetness. Vegetable oil helps retain juiciness while spices and salt give the dish a harmonious taste. This recipe comes from the traditions of home Russian cooking, where simplicity in preparation and natural flavors are valued. Baked salmon is perfect for both family dinners and festive gatherings, especially when accompanied by potatoes or fresh vegetables. This dish will delight lovers of healthy and tasty food.
