Good day.
We had the first snow and the realization came that there was not so much time left before the New Year and it was time to slowly compose a festive menu.
And the main component of the festive table is undoubtedly snacks. And the more diverse they are, the more compliments are poured into the hostess.
For last New Year, I was making snacks selections from, and in kind. And in all these dishes there is certainly an option with lightly salted fish... I think there is no need to explain why. Have a snack strong drinks almost everyone loves fish.
Why exactly pink salmon? The answer is simple: this is the most affordable fish from the salmon family. Yes, she is a little dry, but by simple actions (which I will describe today), she is as close as possible to taste to a more "noble" salmon. I'm not bad, but I prefer to make 3-4 views delicious snacks from pink salmon than one modest cut of salmon for the same money.
If you think so, then this article will be useful to you.
The main secret of successful salting of pink salmon is the use of vegetable oil (most often sunflower oil). It is it that gives juiciness and elasticity to the meat. And when cooking, you only need to choose a salting method. It can be carried out in brine or dry. In chunks, slices or whole. It all depends on what is supposed to be cooked from the fish further.
Let's start with the simplest and most versatile cooking method, suitable for both sandwiches and as a stand-alone snack.
For 1 kg of fillet you will need:
Preparation:
1. We take the fillet of pink salmon and cut it into plates half a centimeter thick, cutting them off the skin. The knife must be very sharp to perform this procedure.
Since the meat of this fish is rather loose, it is better to cut it half-thawed. Or semi-frozen if fresh product is used.
2. Mix salt with sugar, pour the resulting mixture into a salt shaker, generously sprinkle the sliced \u200b\u200bplates on both sides and put them in a container.
3. Having laid out the first layer, pour it evenly with 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Then add the next layer of salted fish, add oil again, and so on, until the meat runs out.
We close the container with a lid and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
In 2 hours lightly salted fish ready. Spread it on a paper towel for 5-7 minutes to absorb excess oil, then decorate it on a serving platter or use it as an ingredient for more complex snacks.
If you have fresh fish and do not want to waste time freezing it, then it is better not to try to remove the meat from the skin, but to salt directly with it.
Onions and black pepper will make the fish aromatic and delicious.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
1. Take pink salmon and cut it into fillets. First, we clean off the scales, then cut off the fins and remove the insides, open the abdomen. Although most often the carcasses are sold already cut and all that remains is to remove the scales and fins.
Then we divide the carcass into 2 parts along the ridge.
For raw, non-frozen fish, the scabbard is a very sharp knife and utmost accuracy.
2. Then we remove the large bones and cut off the ridge. A lot of pulp will remain on the ridge in any case, so it does not need to be thrown away. Salt it along with the fillet and use it later with beer.
3. Cut the peeled fillet directly with the skin into rags 1.5-2 cm wide.
4. Now pour salt into a deep plate, roll each piece in this plate (ridge too) and put them in a separate bowl. When all the fish is boneless, leave it in this bowl for 20 minutes.
5. After 20 minutes, rinse the fillet pieces under running water (just to wash off the salt) and proceed to the final stage.
Take a deep plate and put the fillets in it in 1 layer. Put onion rings on top (as you like) and 5-6 peas of black pepper.
6. Then we spread a new layer of fillets, onions and peppers and so on until the fish ends. At the end, pour 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a plate, cover with an inverted plate of a smaller diameter and put oppression on top in the form of a decanter or a jar of water.
We leave this structure for 1 hour, during which the fish will be saturated with oil, onions and pepper and will become simply awesome.
But this is the fastest way I know of. It is prepared in pieces, under boiled potatoes - that's it.
Salting takes place in brine, which is convenient when a large number fish - no need to process each piece separately.
Preparation:
1. We take the gutted pink salmon carcass, cut off the tail and head and cut it into slices about 1 centimeter thick, along the way (if desired) removing the bones.
2. In a deep bowl, prepare a saline solution in the proportion of 8 tablespoons of salt per 1 liter of boiled water. We put the fish in brine and leave for 1 hour.
The water should be boiled, but not hot. It must first be cooled to room temperature.
3. After 10 minutes, put the pink salmon on a paper towel (for 5 minutes, so that the water glass), and then in a clean deep plate.
4. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on top, cover the plate with cling film and send it to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Done. Enjoy your meal!
Well, one more way quick salting - whole fillet processing without painstaking cutting. By using this method you will save time and at the same time you will have finished product, which can be used in the future as it is convenient.
This method allows you to make salting in just 10 minutes, but the fish will reach readiness for about 8 hours at room temperature and up to a day in the refrigerator. This option is incredibly convenient if you want to make fish sandwiches not today, but by tomorrow.
Today you salt the fish, and tomorrow you collect sandwiches from fresh fish that just arrived in time.
Ingredients for 1 kg fillet:
Preparation:
1. The most important (but also the simplest) thing in this recipe is the preparation of the curing mixture. To do this, you just need to mix together salt, sugar, lemon juice and cognac.
2. Grease pink salmon cut into fillets on both sides with the resulting mixture and put it in a deep bowl. We cover with cling film and leave at room temperature, or put it in the refrigerator, depending on when you need fresh salted fish.
As soon as the smell of cognac disappears, you can start taking a sample.
While the pink salmon comes to readiness, you will need to turn the fillets 3-4 times for a more even salting.
If you do not have much experience in butchering fish, then I suggest you watch a very interesting and informative video about cutting and then salting fish slices in brine before starting cooking.
Well, that seems to be all I know about salted pink salmon... If you have your own branded recipes and chips, I will be grateful if you share them in the comments.
And for today I have everything, thanks for your attention.
