Method of making home salted red fish rolls with cheese

For salting, we choose high-quality fish, without "rust", with a thick back, red gills and light eyes. It is difficult, of course, to discern what color the gills of a frozen fish are, but sometimes you have to trust without checking.

Defrost fish on the bottom shelf of the main compartment of the refrigerator. It is very convenient to leave the fish overnight, by the morning it will defrost and you can start salting. First, we clean off the scales, thoroughly rinse the fish with running water. We leave the fish skin so that it is convenient to cut the salted fish and the fillet does not fall apart during the salting process.

We cut the pink salmon - cut off the head, cut off the fillets. By the way, a very tasty fish soup can be prepared from the ridge, head and fish belly.

We carefully take out all the small bones from the fish, cut off the abdominal part, it can also be added to the ear. The upper part of the fish fillet is suitable for salting.

Dry the fish with a napkin, sprinkle each half with coarse salt and sugar. We put both halves together, put them in a container with a lid and put them on the lower shelf of the refrigerator, after a day we drain the released liquid, which was pulled out of the fish by sugar and salt. The pink salmon will be ready in three days.

When the fish is completely salted, we make a snack roll, for which the filling will be processed cheese, egg and garlic.

Finely chop the hard-boiled egg, chop the processed cheese, a clove of garlic. Mix the ingredients for the roll filling, add mayonnaise and finely chopped dill.

Cut the pink salmon fillet very thinly, put it on cling film. We cover the layer of fish with a film, and slightly pressing it, roll it out with a rolling pin to get an even "rug".

Remove the top layer of cling film, lay out the filling, distribute it evenly over the surface of the fish "mat".

We roll up a dense roll, wrap it in several layers of film, put it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Cut the finished roll into pieces 1.5-2 centimeters thick, decorate with fresh herbs, and serve. Home-salted red fish rolls with cheese are ready. Bon Appetit!
