Marinated asp
Description
Suitable for both special occasions and everyday meals. The shelf life of such an aromatic fish appetizer is 1 week, but the dish is unlikely to last that long in the refrigerator—it will disappear from the plates in a matter of minutes! That is exactly why you should make a little extra right away, so there is enough for seconds for everyone. Serve the appetizer to the table.

Step 5
Thoroughly mix everything in the container with light pressure so the marinade coats every piece. Protein denaturation in the flesh will begin immediately — white flakes will form. This is normal. Place the container in the refrigerator for 2 days, stirring its contents about 2–3 times a day. You can transfer the preparation to a jar or lidded container to keep fish odor out of the refrigerator.
