Salting Red Fish
Description
I want to share how to cure red fish at home. Give it a try — the result is very high quality. The fish is not too salty and does not lose its natural flavor. It works very well for festive sandwiches. I recommend serving it with fresh herbs and sauce.

2. I ended up with two large fillet pieces. I mix the salt, sugar, and pepper together. Sprinkle some of this mixture on the bottom of a clean bowl, then add the fish, then another portion of the spices, lemon slices, and a bay leaf, then more fish. Sprinkle the top piece with spices as well.

4. Next, you can pat it dry with a paper towel and let it air dry (one hour). If you prefer the fish to be soft, simply chill it and serve right away!
