There is rarely a fan of criticizing the red fish. Most likely, there will be more fans to try it, to join the beautiful delicate slightly salty taste. The meat of red fish is so tender that it melts in your mouth, leaving a pleasant taste of marine freshness and light salinity. Is salting of red fish possible at home? Yes, although it is not as simple as it might seem at first glance.
As you noticed, the Japanese especially respect red fish. Having appreciated its unsurpassed taste, the inhabitants of the country of the Rising Sun made it their culinary business card, cooking with rice and spices. These are all kinds of sushi that have taken root all over the world.
Salting red fish at home is not as time-consuming as making sushi, so almost everyone will succeed. It is good that when salting, red fish does not lose its properties. It is extremely rich in vitamins, trace elements, calcium, iron - the substances necessary for the body. It is especially useful for women's health, as it contains elements that normalize the work of the reproductive female system.
Salting red fish at home should begin with cleaning the carcass. Clean, rinse. It is advisable under cold, even icy water. Separate the head, spine, tail. Just do not throw out the head of red fish, because it makes a wonderful ear, the recipe of which we will give below.
Having separated the meat, we cut it into several parts. Then you can mix three parts of salt and one sugar. Sprinkle generously with fish and leave at least 8 hours. Better, of course, all night. Then you can carefully separate the skin, decorate with herbs and serve.
However, the ambassador of red fish at home may be different. We have given the simplest recipe that does not require special skills. But the use of sugar is a controversial option. Try to do it with or without sugar. Sugar will add a spicy taste to the dish, but it also affects the fish itself, making it somewhat loose. So try both options and decide what is right for you.
Some people prefer to smear fish fillet with vegetable oil, and then, when the salting of red fish is finished at home, they are served at the table with a little dripping lemon juice on top or garnished with a boiled egg cut into thin plates. A sprig of greens is laid out on top.
Well, now that we have figured out how the salting of red fish occurs at home, we proceed to the preparation of what is left of it. Namely, we are interested in the head and ridge of the fish. Boil the head. At this time, peel potatoes and onions. Onions are beautifully cut into half rings. Throw rice into the water. After a few minutes, it is the turn of onions and potatoes. We cook the soup until cooked, but a few minutes before the end we add even and red ground pepper (everything is up to you, it all depends on how much you like hot). It is advisable to pour a tablespoon of vegetable or olive oil and salt to taste. By the way, you can throw a piece of butter, it will also turn out very tasty and nutritious. Just do not throw regular table salt into your ear; it does not go very well with your ear. It is better to take large iodized salt - as if it was created specifically for the fish soup, any fisherman will confirm this. And the final touch. You probably guessed which one? This is a small stack of vodka. For a medium-sized pot, one stack of 50 grams will be enough. Vodka will add flavor to the ear, but of course it will not act like alcohol. Too much water will dilute it. Therefore, such an ear can be consumed even by children.
As you can see, there are a lot of recipes for cooking red fish - it is good in soups, in salads or in ordinary homemade pickles. That is why she is good.
Eat red fish for health!
