   2. Meanwhile, make the brine: add salt and pepper to the water, add a bay leaf, and put it on the stove. When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer the brine for another 10 minutes. It is important that all the salt dissolves. Then cool the brine until slightly warm and add the fish. Leave for three hours at room temperature, covered with a lid.
