Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make lightly salted salmon salmon? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take any vegetable oil of your choice. Fish - preferably fresh. If you have frozen, defrost it in advance.
Step 2:
Gut the pink salmon, cut off the head, wash and dry with napkins.
Step 3:
Make a neat incision on the pink salmon along the ridge. Take a thin carving knife for this.
Step 4:
Separate the fish fillets from the bones.
Step 5:
Leave the skin on the fillet, do not cut it off.
Step 6:
Cut the salmon fillet into portions about 5 cm thick .
Step 7:
Separately, in a bowl, mix salt and sugar in equal amounts.
Step 8:
Put the fish in one layer at a distance from each other in a suitable salting dish.
Step 9:
Sprinkle the pieces of pink salmon with a mixture of salt and sugar. You can add a little black freshly ground pepper. So the taste will be different - a little spicy, I advise you to try it!
Step 10:
Lay out the whole pink salmon in layers, sprinkling it with a dry mixture. Then put the dishes with the fish in the refrigerator for a day. The source says that the fish can be eaten after 3 hours, but I survived longer. So that the fish does not wind up, you can tighten the dish with cling film.
Step 11:
When, in your opinion, the pink salmon is salted enough, drain the excess liquid and dry each piece well with paper towels.
Step 12:
Fill the fish with vegetable oil and store in the refrigerator. When the pink salmon is soaked in oil, it will turn out even more tender and juicy. It is best to keep it in the refrigerator for no more than one week.
Step 13:
Bon appetit!
According to this recipe, you can pickle not only pink salmon, but in general any red fish, including salmon directly. I strongly advise you to try adding ground black pepper when salting (it is better to grind it yourself) - the fish in this case acquires an even stronger and more pleasant aroma and taste!
Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.
