Did you know? To choose pink salmon with caviar in a store or in the market, pay attention to the nose of the fish. In female pink salmon, it is wide and smoothly rounded, while in male it is pointed in the form of a beak. The female pink salmon cannot see the teeth protruding forward, which cannot be said about the male: his teeth protrude forward from under the upper lip. If you are lucky and you have chosen fish with caviar, carefully remove it without damaging the protective film (pail), and proceed to salting.
Step cooking
- Pour boiled water (0.5 liters) into a deep bowl or salad bowl. Water temperature should be 50 degrees. Pour sea or table salt (1 tablespoon with a large slide) into the water and mix well until the salt is completely dissolved.
- Transfer the pink salmon caviar in the gaiter to the prepared water.
- Gently and slowly stir with a whisk to beat, so that the caviar is separated from the films. As the rotation of the film is wound on a whisk.
- When all the eggs have separated, remove the films, and leave the eggs to stand in salt water for 3 minutes.
- Over time, drain the water and discard the eggs on a sieve.
- Rinse them with clean boiled water (using about 1 liter) and let the water drain.
- Transfer the eggs to a clean glass jar and add flavourless vegetable oil (0.5 teaspoon) to it. Gently mix the eggs and butter.
- Salted caviar of pink salmon is ready to eat. Keep such caviar in the refrigerator for no more than three days.

You learned how to salt salmon caviar at home in a quick and easy way. According to this recipe, pink salmon caviar is slightly salted. If you like a more salty taste, then just increase the residence time of caviar in salt water to 15 minutes. You can also not add vegetable oil to the finished caviar if you plan to use it in one day (prepare sandwiches for a large company and eat it all at once). In this recipe, the oil acts as a kind of preservative and extends the shelf life of caviar in the refrigerator up to 3-5 days. When preparing caviar at home, you can be sure of its naturalness and usefulness, unlike store counterparts.
