Salting Salmon
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. To cure salmon, you need only a small amount of spices—I used just sugar, salt, and a little ground black pepper for aroma. An exquisite fish like salmon has an unmatched taste and color, and it is very easy to prepare at home. After curing the fish, in a couple of days you will have a delicious appetizer for your table. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
