Fish salad under a fur coat

Original, beautiful, incredibly tender and delicious! Salad Fish under a fur coat is nothing but everyone's favorite herring. Unlike the classic version, the vegetables in this recipe are grated smaller. Try it yourself: if you replace a large grater with a medium one, the salad will turn out hundreds of times tastier.

Step-by-step cooking

Step 1:
How to make a Fish salad under a fur coat? Prepare the products. It will be more convenient and faster to use ready-made herring fillets. But you can also butcher the fish yourself. Rinse beets, carrots and potatoes well under running water with a brush.
Step 2:
Dry the herring fillet with a paper towel and cut into small pieces. You can use fresh salted fish or canned food in oil. I used marinated in oil. Carefully select the bones if they are left in the fillet.
Step 3:
How to cook vegetables? Cook beets and carrots with potatoes in different pots in boiling water until tender. It takes 15-20 minutes to cook potatoes and carrots. For beetroot cooking — 1-1.5 hours, depending on its size. Check readiness with a sharp knife — it should easily pierce the root crop. Drain the water and cool the vegetables. Peel the cooled potatoes, carrots and beets. Grate them separately on a medium grater.
Step 4:
How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned. The cooled eggs are also grated on a medium grater.
Step 5:
Put a layer of herring on a serving dish, smooth it out. Spread mayonnaise on top. I poured from a pastry bag with a nozzle "closed star", so as not to break the layer, which usually happens when smearing with a regular spoon.
Step 6:
Next, lay out a layer of boiled potatoes, which also smear with mayonnaise.
Step 7:
Then come carrots and mayonnaise.
Step 8:
Put the eggs in the next layer, pour mayonnaise over them too.
Step 9:
Beets are laid out with the top and last layer.
Step 10:
Make a mesh of mayonnaise on top or just apply mayonnaise and smear it with a spoon so that the mayonnaise turns pink. Put the finished salad in the refrigerator for 1.5 hours for impregnation. Then you can serve it to the table. Enjoy your meal!

How to properly cut a whole fish into fillets? Remove the tail, head and fins. Cut the carcass along the spine to the spine. Turn it on its side. With a sharp knife, cut the meat from the backbone bone. Turn the carcass over and cut the fillet from the other side. Clean the inside by removing the black film, as it is bitter and will spoil the taste. Rinse and be sure to dry well.

Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
