Brine the fish before baking it!
Here's a simple trick we've found to be really effective. Before baking your fish, brine it! What exactly is brining? Brining is the process of soaking your fish in a brine solution before baking it. This results in perfectly moist salmon, as well as assisting the salmon in reaching room temperature, allowing it to cook more evenly. It also reduces the amount of white material (see below). Even better, it takes no more time! That's possible to do it while the oven warms up. To brine salmon, follow these steps:
1. Make a solution of salt and water. To produce a salt water solution, combine 4 cups water and 3 teaspoons salt in a large mixing bowl.
2. Allow 15 minutes for the fish to soak in the water. This can be done in the time it
takes to preheat the oven.
What is the white substance on cooked salmon?
What is the white substance that sometimes forms on the surface of grilled fish? The good news is that everything is absolutely normal! The white substance is albumin, a coagulated protein that rises to the surface after baking. The amount of albumin in a fish varies widely, so it's not something you can regulate. It's perfectly safe to eat, but it doesn't look very attractive on top of a lovely fillet. When cooking salmon, there are a few techniques to minimize albumin:
1. Cook it at a lower temperature to ensure a gentler cooking process (325 degrees
Fahrenheit)
2. Before baking, brine the salmon in a salt and water solution.
How to serve Sofrito Baked Salmon with a garnish
Isn't it true that the presentation is the most enjoyable part? On a plate, this Sofrito salmon looks just stunning. What you should know about the presentation is as follows:
1. After baking, add the Sofrito. It stays beautifully wet and bright green as a result of
this.
2. As a finishing touch, scatter chopped cilantro or parsley. These are beautiful and
have a distinct flavor.
3. Lemon zest brightens the dish. If you make your own Sofrito, you'll already have a
lemon on hand to accentuate the tastes. It's a good technique to revitalize the
flavors if you're using storebought Sofrito.
