Salmon steak with soy-cream sauce and cheese

6 servings

60 minutes

This exquisite Norwegian recipe embodies the harmony of flavors and the tenderness of texture. Salmon, known for its rich and buttery taste, is enhanced by fresh lemon juice that adds a slight tang and refreshing aroma. Baked in a delicate soy-cream sauce, the fish gains softness and richness, while grated cheese creates a golden crispy crust, turning the dish into a gastronomic delight. This steak pairs wonderfully with light sides like new potatoes or grilled vegetables, as well as a glass of white wine that highlights its sophistication. Historically, such recipes emerged in northern regions where seafood plays a central role in culinary traditions and where there is an effort to preserve their natural flavor while enriching it with delicate additions.

• Salmon: 4 pc
• Cream 20%: 200 ml
• Cheese: 200 g
• Lemon: 1 pc
• Soy sauce: 50 ml

Cooking steps

1. Wash the steaks, then lightly pound them and place on a baking sheet, peppering both sides.

   Required ingredients:

   • Salmon: 4 pieces
   • Soy sauce: 50 ml

2. Cut off the ends of the lemon and squeeze the juice onto the steaks, then slice the remaining part of the lemon into thin wedges and place them on the salmon. Let it sit for about 10 minutes while preheating the oven. It's better not to set it above 150 degrees, as fish can easily dry out, but this depends on your oven!

   Required ingredients:

   • Lemon: 1 piece

3. Send the salmon to the oven for 25 minutes and then start on the sauce and cheese. Pour cream and soy into a container and add spices to taste (I only added pepper), mix well. I recommend adding regular soy and to taste, as everyone's preferences are different.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cream 20%: 200 ml
   • Soy sauce: 50 ml
   • Cheese: 200 g

4. When the fish turns pink, remove the baking tray from the oven, take the lemon off the fish (I just scatter them around the fish), pour the steaks with the resulting sauce and sprinkle with cheese, put it back in the oven for 15-25 minutes (I repeat — everything is individual and depends on your oven).

   Required ingredients:

   • Lemon: 1 piece
   • Cream 20%: 200 ml
   • Soy sauce: 50 ml
   • Cheese: 200 g

5. When the steaks are covered with a cheese crust and slightly browned, they can be safely removed.
