The most profitable option is to buy fresh, chilled, unsalted red fish in the form of steak or fillet and salt it yourself at home. How to salt salmon so that it turns out tender and tasty? I will reveal some secrets for salting this fish.

But, in order to save money, I nevertheless decided to look for the ideal option for salting salmon. It turned out that the ratio of salt and sugar is of great importance. Moreover, sugar plays a big role here – thanks to it, the fish turns out to be more tender in both consistency and taste. I take salt and sugar in a 1:1 ratio.
