About the dish

Salmón en sidra is a traditional fish dish originating from Spain, and it’s especially popular in Asturias. The dish is usually made with a combination of salmon fillets, flour, salt, olive oil, and hard apple cider. The salmon fillets are seasoned with salt, dredged in flour, and seared on both sides in olive oil. Cider is poured over the fillets, and the pan is transferred to the oven. The dish is baked until the fillets are opaque. Once removed from the oven, the fish is basted with cider and served with boiled potatoes. The rest of the cider is reduced in the pan, and the sauce is then spooned over the fillets.
