Salting salmon

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to salt salmon at home? Prepare your food. Cut the fish into fillets. From a gutted carcass, cut off the head, tail, fins and cut out the ridge. There are several options for cutting fillets, which depend on the salting methods. For quick (or dry) salting, cut the fillet into strips of the desired length (no more than 1 cm thick), dip them in a mixture of salt, sugar and pepper (if desired). Serve these pieces to the table, after washing off the salt, after 15-20 minutes.

2. STEP 2

   

   With regular salting, you can salt both a whole carcass and steaks, cut at home or bought in a store. I salted the salmon steaks.

3. STEP 3

   

   Be sure to clean the steaks (as well as the carcass) from scales.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare a mixture for salting fish. Take salt and sugar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix these ingredients and add ground black pepper to taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare the spices. In the situation with salmon, the ideal combination is bay leaf and a mixture of peppercorns. They are not able to radically change the specific taste of salmon, like other spices, including fish ones.

7. STEP 7

   

   Squeeze the juice out of the lemon. Pour it over the salmon pieces.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the pieces of fish in layers in a suitable bowl, sprinkling them with a mixture of salt, sugar and pepper, finely chopped herbs, bay leaf and peppercorns. Place a bend on top.

9. STEP 9

   

   After a couple of hours of standing under pressure, put the dishes with fish in the refrigerator. The fish will release its juices, so turn it regularly.

10. STEP 10

    

    The sample is usually taken on the second day, but, as experience shows, not very thick pieces are ready the very next day. Bon appetit!

if you don’t make steaks and leave the backbone, the fish will be salted at the rate of 2 spoons per kilogram, and I add sliced ​​lemon
