We bake sturgeon in the oven: the culinary delicacies of the process

Sturgeon is a truly royal fish. White, tender meat, complete absence of bones, inexpressible taste and aroma make it a delicacy. This fish can be boiled, stewed, fried. But if you want to maximally preserve the useful properties of sturgeon, it is best to bake it.

Its meat is dense, fat enough and not overdried in the oven. You can cook fish by cutting into portions. On the festive table, the whole bird will look very impressive, decorated with jellied vegetables and cranberry berries. Here we will look at how and how much to bake sturgeon, and also reveal some secrets of cutting this delicious fish.

At first glance, this inhabitant of the Caspian Sea looks threatening and impregnable. Huge sharp spikes can cut any mittens. Do not panic. We rub the carcass with salt, and after five minutes we scald it with steep boiling water. Now touch the thorns. If they do not crawl from the back, then the scalding operation should be repeated. So, what do we have on the agenda? Whole baked sturgeon? The recipe involves first evisceration of the carcass. After we removed the insides, rub the fish outside and inside with spices and salt, three tablespoons of sour cream and juice squeezed out of half a lemon.

The second half of the citrus is cut in circles. We spread the fish on foil, decorate with lemon circles on top. We wrap the aluminum sheets with the envelope, so that the juice, which is released during heat treatment, does not escape anywhere. Bake sturgeon in the oven, heated to 180 degrees, about 20 minutes. After that we take out the baking sheet, turn the foil on top. Lubricate the butter with fish and send it to another 10-15 minutes. Serve such a handsome man with mustard sauce, sprinkle with chopped herbs of dill and parsley.

And here is another recipe. Here we cut the sturgeon carcass into portions, we remove the cartilage. We salt them, sprinkle with spices for fish and put them in a frying pan, which can later be put in the oven. For 600 grams of sturgeon, we need only two tablespoons of sour cream. We lubricate the sides of our fish with it. We put also among the pieces 50 g of oil and pour half a glass of water. Bake sturgeon in the oven for about half an hour, as in the previous recipe, at 180 C. We must not forget to water the fish from time to time with the allocated juice.

Main dish and garnish in one package! This valuable fish can be baked with vegetables and potatoes. But first we mulate the sturgeon sturgeon. Cleaned from the skin and cartilage meat is salt, pepper. If the fillet was 500-600 g, enough and a kilogram of potatoes. We clean it and cut it in circles. Lubricate the bottom and the walls of the mold with butter. We put half the potatoes. Also season with spices and salt. We put on it sturgeon. We cut five tomatoes with mugs. We place them on top of the fish. We close the remaining potatoes. Water all abundantly with mayonnaise and sprinkle with grated cheese chips. Bake sturgeon in the oven for thirty-five minutes at 180 ° C.

For originality you can fish. We rub it with mayonnaise, and inside we put a few slices of lemon, dill with parsley, a pea of pepper, spices to taste. We fasten the edges of the abdomen with toothpicks. Grease the pan with sunflower oil and sprinkle with onion rings (about a pound). On this "box" we lay fish. The top of it is also lubricated with oil so that it does not overdry. We bake sturgeon in the oven for 20 minutes. After that, salt the onions, and grease the fish with butter. We send it to another quarter of an hour.
