Dishes made from pink salmon are very tasty and healthy. In addition, they can decorate and diversify any festive and everyday table. Preparing them at home is quite simple and quick.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
As a rule, fish is sold freshly frozen in the store, so it is not always possible to determine exactly how high-quality it is. To make a purchase correctly, you need to pay attention to the appearance, color, smell and elasticity of pink salmon. Her belly should be pink, her gills should be light red, and there should be no dents on it after pressing. And, of course, the fish should have a pleasant smell.
Important! If the fish has a very rich red color, this indicates the use of dyes, so it is better to choose products with a more natural shade.
