Home-Style Salted Mackerel

The easiest recipe for salting mackerel at home. Such salted mackerel tastes better than store-bought and much cheaper. Let’s pamper ourselves with a delicious fish? I always salt the fish myself.

Directions

1. The products for cooking salted mackerel are in front of you.

   

2. Open the abdomen with a knife.

4. Sprinkle generously with salt on top and inside the mackerel, or add a mixture of ground peppers. Fold in two halves.
5. Wrap the fish in a plastic bag and leave it to salt in the refrigerator for a day.
6. Rinse the mackerel and cut it into pieces.
7. Peel and wash the onions. Cut into half rings.

   Home-style salted mackerel is ready. Serve fish well with boiled potatoes.
