This is where the fish are caught before they have time to spawn. Carcasses with the belly ripped open are widely sold, and everyone prepares the product in their own way.
The best thing that can be made from pink salmon is to salt it in a special way: “pink salmon salted.” This culinary recipe is simple and proven.
Ingredients
So, we need: directly fish, sugar, salt. And three days of time.
We produce pink salmon ambassador
The pink salmon carcass should be scraped with a knife to remove the scales. This must be done if you will cook soup from the remains of the head (if any), abdomen, fins, and ridge. If soup is not expected, you can skip this operation and work on the carcass.
We got a fish without a head, so we cut off only the tail and belly.We make an incision along the ridge, trim the skin near the head and carefully separate it from the meat. On one side and on the other. Cut out the dorsal fin.
Now the completely “naked” pink salmon must be slowly cut along the spine into two layers.
The result was pink salmon fillet and quite edible “waste”. From them, as already mentioned, you can cook a delicious fish soup, which will not at all resemble the usual fish soup (rice, potatoes, carrots, onions, spices). Or you can pickle these leftovers separately for beer.
Now we are interested in the sirloin part. Cut it into pieces and proceed to the main part. Salting pink salmon with salmon is done using the dry method. To do this, mix salt and sugar in equal proportions. For our fish you will need two full tablespoons of coarse salt and the same amount of sugar.
Rub the curing mixture into the pulp, place in a suitable container, press down and leave for several hours so that the salt and sugar are completely absorbed.
After six to eight hours, drain the juice that the fish gave, tightly wrap the fillet pieces in canvas and place them in the freezer. After two days, salted pink salmon is ready.
Eat as a gourmet snack, make sandwiches with “red fish” and just be glad that you managed to get salmon from pink salmon.
