PICKLED SALMON RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Rinse salmon, pat dry, and cut into 3/4 inch pieces.
• Spread fish in a single layer on a piece of wax or in a shallow glass baking dish.
• Sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon salt and let stand, uncovered for 30 minutes.
• Rinse fish well and pat dry.
• While salmon is standing, combine vinegar, water, oil, spices and 1 teaspoon salt in a 2-3 quart pan.
• Bring to a boil over high heat; then reduce heat, partially cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Layer fish chunks and onions in a 2 quart wide-mouth jar or bowl.
• Pour the simmering pickling liquid over the fish and onions, cover loosely, and let cool.
• When cool, cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours or up to a week.
• Transfer fish and onions with some of the liquid to a serving bowl and provide picks for spearing.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine 1 sliced onion, salt, white pepper, and the cold water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Gently slide in the salmon steaks and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until fish is done. Spread half the remaining sliced onions in a glass dish. Remove the salmon steaks from the poaching liquid (but save the liquid) and place on top of the onions and cover with the remaining sliced onions. To the poaching liquid in the saucepan, add the vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, pepercorns and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Strain the stock and pour over the fish. Allow to cool completely, cover and refrigerate for 2 days. Serve cold as an appetizer or lunch dish. Pickled salmon will keep well, refrigerated, for up to a week.
