This recipe came to me from my Dad who nabbed it from my Great Aunt Lil. We catch so many sockeye salmon every year and have done just about everything you can think of with them; drying (St'wan), baked and then canned, raw pack canned, smoked, barbequed and now pickled. I have a few more recipes at my blog; Ingredients:
coarse salt (lots of it) |
2 salmon (i use sockeye) |
1 cup white vinegar |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
3 tablespoons pickling spices |
bics sweet mix pickle juice or any sweet pickle juice |
onion |
2 whole red peppers (optional) |
2 bay leaves |
Directions:
1. Fillet fish, remove skin, slice thin, layer into an open container with plenty of coarse salt between layers and a thick layer on top. Cover with a tea towel or a breathable cloth, you do not want to put a plastic lid or saran wrap on it as the liquid needs to evaporate off. Leave for at least a month.
2. After a month dump the whole works into the sink and rinse, rinse, rinse, I let the water run into the container for an hour or so. Cut into strips. Make up the brine and make sure it cools well; you do not want to cook the fish by adding hot brine. Layer in a glass gallon jar with onions, add the cooled brine. Set in the fridge for a couple of weeks and enjoy!
