Homemade red salmon pickling recipe: simple and delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 kg fresh red salmon fillet (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vodka (optional)
• Fresh dill (optional)

Preparation:

1. Preparing salmon fillets: Rinse salmon fillets thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make sure there are no bones on the fillet.

2. To prepare the pickling mixture: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper. These proportions will provide the perfect balance of flavors for salting salmon.

3. Applying the mixture to the fillet: Thoroughly rub the salmon fillet with the prepared mixture, evenly distributing it over the entire surface of the fish. If using vodka, lightly drizzle it over the fillets before applying the mixture.

4. Adding dill: For good taste and smell, use dill, chop it finely and distribute over the fillets.

5. Packing the fillets: Wrap the fillets tightly in plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container.

6. Salting: Place the fillet in the refrigerator. Leave for 24-48 hours, depending on how salty you prefer your fish. During the salting process, you can turn the fillet several times to evenly distribute the mixture.

7. Preparing to serve: Remove the fillet from the refrigerator, remove excess salt and cut into thin slices.

8. Feed: Serve salted salmon on bread and butter as an appetizer or add to salads.

Bon appetit!
