Salmon baked in foil with cheese is a popular fish dish that has excellent taste and is very nutritious. This dish can be served to both adults and children, both on weekdays and on holidays.
The basis is salmon, a fish of the Salmon family, which has pale pink meat. This product has a high nutritional value and is loved by many. You need to buy it fresh, because after freezing, its quality deteriorates. The easiest way is to choose a real salmon as a whole. The fish is quite large, the scales are also larger than those of other varieties, while there are no specks like trout. The fins are slightly thinner and longer, and the front of the head is more pointed. In the form of steaks, the choice is more difficult, but still there are distinctive features. The meat is characterized by a lighter shade than other fish from the same family, while the veins are much larger.
Lemon and dill play an important role in cooking salmon baked with cheese. Lemon juice slightly neutralizes the fishy smell, refreshes it and, impregnating the salmon meat, softens it, speeds up cooking and gives the taste a slightly refreshing sourness. Dill greens also affect the taste and aroma, making it more perfect.
Thyme, rosemary can be used as flavoring additives, which well set off the aroma, but at the same time do not impose their own taste. For our recipe for salmon with cheese, you can choose a ready-made mixture of Provencal herbs, which includes tarragon, parsley, marjoram, dill, thyme.

Step-by-step preparation of salmon baked under cheese in foil
1. Before cooking salmon with cheese, prepare fish steaks. Put the pieces of salmon in a deep plate and sprinkle with lemon juice. Season with your favorite spices and mix thoroughly so that the marinade envelops each piece of fish. For the time of pickling, leave the peel from the lemon in the same bowl so that the steaks are more saturated with a refreshing citrus aroma. We leave for 15-30 minutes at room temperature.
2. Such salmon is prepared under cheese in foil. Each steak should have its own "boat" made of aluminum sheet. We take cuts about 20 by 20 cm in size, so that you can wrap the entire piece of fish with the edges. On the inside, coat with vegetable oil and spread the salmon.
3. Put a few sprigs of dill on top.
4. Cut the tomatoes into thin slices with a sharp knife and put a couple of them on each fish steak.
5. Three hard cheese on a coarse grater or cut into thin slices and spread over the tomatoes.
6. After that, pour a little sour cream. This product will make the meat more tender and give a light creamy taste. Sour cream can be of any fat content, but it should not be too liquid.
7. The oven is preheated to 200 degrees. We wrap the "boats" with the prepared fish and send them to the oven on a baking sheet. The initial baking time is about 20 minutes. During this time, the fish will release a little juice, be saturated with the aromas of the remaining ingredients and bake well. After that, you need to open the foil and leave the fish in the oven for another 7-10 minutes, so that it browns a little on top. Can be grilled for 4-5 minutes.
8. We take out the "boats", carefully take out the steaks and put them on a plate on top of the lettuce leaf. If the fish is slightly baked and becomes a little crumbly, then to maintain an attractive appearance, you can serve it on a plate directly in foil.
9. Salmon baked in foil with cheese is ready! The meat turns out to be soft, but at the same time it keeps its shape well, and the dish looks incredibly attractive on a plate. Serve this dish with boiled rice or potatoes combined with fresh vegetable salads.
