Appetizer of Lightly Salted Salmon
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. A mandatory requirement is the use of frozen fish. Since the appetizer is served raw (without heat treatment), it is important to eliminate possible parasites. When salting fish, they do not completely disappear, so you need to use fish that has been previously deep-frozen. Serve the appetizer at the table.
