One of the simplest, budgetary and most well-known ways of making pink salmon is salting. It will not be difficult to do salting at home, this process is so simple that even a child can handle it. Such fish is stored for a long time and serves it in different variations. It can be served as a main course or as an ingredient for canapes, stuff pancakes or cut into a salad. Whether it’s a snack or a side dish, it’s always good.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
It is necessary to choose pink salmon for salting as carefully as possible. If you do not live in the Far East, then this fish is likely to be frozen or chilled. There are several types of pink salmon in the store: whole not gutted, gutted and cut into pieces or fillets. When choosing, pay attention to the tail and eyes of the fish.
Blurred eyes indicate prolonged freezing, as does a dry tail. The carcass should be of the correct form, and the gills should not have a dark green color. When choosing a gutted fish, pay attention to the belly, ideally its color is pink. Yellow spots or mucus indicate rotting and non-compliance with temperature conditions during storage.
