How to salt pink salmon caviar - the best way to salt at home

If you are lucky and the pink salmon you purchased turns out to contain caviar, you can consider yourself a big winner. Very carefully open the belly of the pink salmon so as not to damage the film-yastyk. If the eggs fall into the abdomen, nothing bad will happen, but collecting small eggs is very inconvenient.

Place the game in a deep bowl and make several cuts in the joints.

Boil water in a saucepan and salt it. For 1 l. water, add 2-3 tbsp. l. salt. As soon as the water boils, pour boiling water over the caviar, and a thin film will immediately curl up.

Carefully drain the water through a colander so as not to lose the eggs, but the cloudy water with films is gone, and fill the eggs with cool water. Pink salmon caviar should be washed in several waters to completely get rid of all remnants of the film. Once you are satisfied with the cleanliness of the caviar, transfer it to a gauze bag and hang it for an hour to drain all the water.

If you don’t want to bother with boiling water, you can get rid of the films using a cold method. Take the bowl deeper, place the yastiki in it, and in the same way, you need to make cuts in them. Fill the oysters with cool water.Insert the dough attachment into the mixer and mix the caviar on low speed. The films will be wound around the nozzles, and all you have to do is wash the eggs. Both of these methods are good, and you can choose whichever is more convenient for you.

Now it’s time to salt pink salmon caviar. To salt pink salmon caviar, you only need salt and vegetable oil.

You need fine salt, like “Extra”, but not iodized. For 100 grams of caviar you need:

• 1 tsp. salt (without a slide);
• 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.

Transfer the caviar into a jar of a suitable size, add salt, add oil, and stir very vigorously with a fork to form something like foam.

After this, close the jar with a lid and put the jar in the refrigerator. The caviar will be ready the next day, and it is a wonderful appetizer and table decoration.

If kept clean, pink salmon caviar can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 months, but usually the caviar is eaten before it has time to spoil.
