This is how I was taught to salt fish in Kamchatka.
The fish prepared according to this recipe is very good, I hope you will like it too... I am indicating here the composition of salt and sugar in spoons. This is enough for salting one small pink salmon. The main thing is that the fish must be of excellent quality. If the flesh falls off the bones and the meat is not dense, this means that this fish should not be salted in any way. It's better to cook it another way. I have excellent fresh caught fish.
Ингредиенты
Pink salmon - 1.5 kg
Salt - 2 tbsp.
Sugar - 5 tbsp.
Bay leaf - 2 pcs.
Peppercorns - 5 pcs.
Vegetable oil - 50 ml
Рецепт
1. Wash the fish and do not open the belly. Cut off the head and insert a fillet knife between the skin and the carcass of the fish. Run a knife along the cut and remove the skin like a stocking.
2. I don’t throw away the skin; in the following recipes I will show you how to use it.
3. Cut the fillet from the bones so that the insides remain inside and we do not touch them. Wash the fillet with cold water. Blot with paper towels and cut into medium-sized pieces.
4. Mix salt in a bowl with sugar. Roll the fish pieces in this mixture.
5. Place spices at the bottom of a clean jar. Place the pieces of fish tightly. Place a small bottle of water on top and leave it on the table for 5 hours. If you have a mixture of salt and sugar left, do not put it in a jar. It's enough that it's in pieces.
6. Next, pour oil into the fish so that the oil covers the fish completely. Don't mix! We put the jar in the refrigerator and after 36 hours the salted pink salmon in the jar is ready.
7. The fish turns out dense and moderately salty. Serve with whatever you like.
8. Bon appetit.
