How to quickly salt red fish at home: you can eat in 2 hours

Salmon doesn't need to be refrigerated for several days to cure well. You can prepare the dish much faster. The main thing is to use the right ingredients and choose the right utensils.

The FoodOboz editorial team has prepared a selection of two recipes for salted fish from Ukrainian food bloggers. The dish is prepared as simply and quickly as possible and is ideal for a festive table.

Salted salmon from dubrova.life. Published on the Instagram page.

Ingredients:

• salmon, trout or other red fish - 300 g
• water - 500 ml
• salt - 2 tbsp
• sugar - 1 tsp
• black peppercorns or ground pepper

Method of preparation:

1. Boil water and add all the ingredients.
2. Cool the water and pour in the salmon (previously washed and dried with a paper towel).
3. Close the container with a lid and refrigerate for 1 day.
4. Drain the water, pat the fish dry with a paper towel and brush with a thin layer of olive oil.

Important: fish should be salted only in plastic or glass containers, as metal utensils can give it an iron taste. Such fish is stored for no more than three days, so it is better to salt it in small portions.

But red fish can be salted even faster.
