Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make lightly salted salmon at home? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. I used fresh trout for salting, but ready-made fillets are also suitable for this. Instead of trout, you can take any other red fish, such as pink salmon or salmon.

Step 2

Step 2
Clean the salmon from scales, gut it, cut it. Cut off the head and tail; they will make an excellent fish soup or soup. We will take fillet from the middle part of the carcass for salting.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour salt and sugar into the pan in a 3:1 ratio.

Step 4

Step 4
Add cumin seeds. Stir the resulting pickling mixture.

Step 5

Step 5
Dredge the salmon fillet on all sides in the mixture and fold into a book.

Step 6

Step 6
Cover with a suitable plate (I took the same saucepan of a slightly smaller size) and place the weight — be sure to! Under pressure, the fish becomes elastic. Keep it warm for two hours, and then put it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days; during the salting process, you need to turn the fish over a couple of times.

Step 7

Step 7
Then rinse the fish under running cold water, if necessary, if it is salty, keep it in water and soak. Dry with a kitchen towel and cut into thin slices. Place the fish slices on a plate, pour over lemon juice, garnish with lemon slices and dill and serve. Bon appetit!
