This New Year’s Eve, impress your guests with a restaurant-quality baked salmon dish using a simple recipe shared by renowned Ukrainian chef Yevhen Klopotenko.

Klopotenko’s technique involves a quick bake followed by a steam bath, giving the salmon a delicate and flavorful finish. Here’s the breakdown:

1. **Marinate:** Pour lemon juice over the salmon.
2. **Bake:** Bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
3. **Steam Bath:** Create a steam bath by placing a bowl in a pan of boiling water.
4. **Sauce:** Pour in wine, add salt and egg yolks.
5. **Whisk:** Whisk until the mixture thickens and turns white.
6. **Final Bake:** Pour the sauce over the salmon and bake for another 5 minutes.

**For a budget-friendly option, consider salting pink salmon,** which offers a similar taste to regular salmon but at a fraction of the price. The foody_clubs Instagram page provides a universal salting method:

1. **No Defrosting:** Frozen fish is easier to cut into neat pieces, so no need to defrost.
2. **Saline Solution:** Mix 4-5 tablespoons of salt with 1 liter of cold boiled water.
3. **Floating Potato Test:** Check if the solution is ready by dropping in a peeled potato. It should float.
4. **Soak:** Immerse the fish in the solution for 5-8 minutes, then rinse and dry.
5. **Spice and Oil:** Layer spices in a dish and add odorless sunflower oil.
6. **Chill:** Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes.
7. **Serve:** Enjoy with onions, lemon, and herbs.

With these simple techniques, you can create delicious and impressive red fish dishes for your New Year’s feast.
