Step 6
Gently mix the contents of the container with light pressure so the marinade is absorbed into the flesh. You will see the salmon pieces lighten as a result. Cover the container with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Stir the contents of the container again after 6–8 hours.
