Tartlets with red fish and cream cheese - on the video:

Its meat contains unsaturated fatty acid omega-3 and 6. These substances prevent the development of atherosclerosis, normalize blood pressure, lower cholesterol.

Red fish - practically universal product. You can make salads, sandwiches, cold appetizers, fish soup from it, serve as a main hot dish for the second. It can be stewed, fried in a pan, baked on the grill, on the grill and in the oven in foil.
Choosing a fish
It will be more economical to purchase a whole carcass. Then you can cook soup from the ridge, head and fins, fry steaks from the sides, and use the tummy as a delicious snack for beer. However, red fish dishes directly depend on the quality original product. When choosing a carcass in the store, you need to pay attention to the gills. They should be bright red. Good fresh fish has a fresh "marine" smell without foreign impurities and elastic pulp. Press your finger on the barrel. If the dent disappears quickly, the fish is fresh. Purchased steaks are best cooked immediately. Each subsequent freezing negatively affects the quality and benefits of the product.
Any fish should be brought to room temperature slowly. Do not under any circumstances flood it. hot water And don't put it in the microwave to defrost. Just put it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
Much easier to buy this product in the supermarket. If desired (and a fair amount of laziness), you can buy red fish, already cut into even thin slices. However, this is, firstly, too expensive. And secondly, the inscription "slightly salted" on the label is not entirely true. To increase the shelf life of the product, the manufacturer makes the fish very, very spicy. Yes, and conservatives do not regret. And this negates the whole usefulness of red fish. It's better to pickle it yourself. So we can regulate its taste.
Salting red fish, contrary to popular belief, does not take much time. Two hours is enough to prepare delicious snack or ingredient for sandwiches or salads. For salting, it is better to take frozen fish - in this form it is easier to cut it, thin neat slices are obtained. We take out the bones along the way. For brine we take a liter hot water. Dissolve two tablespoons of sugar in it and large quantity salt. When the brine has cooled completely, put the chopped fillet into it. We leave for two hours. Strain, fill the fish with vegetable oil. Everything can be served at the table.

Mix two hundred grams of cream cheese with a spoonful of lemon juice and chopped dill (small bunch). We spread this paste with a thin layer on pita bread. Lightly salted red fish fillet cut into thin plates. Lay on top of the pasta. We roll the pita bread. Wrap the doner in foil and refrigerate for an hour.
Hot snack
Dishes from red fish look very impressive on vegetables. Lubricate the baking sheet with vegetable oil. large tomatoes cut into thick slices. Lay them on a baking sheet. Place a slice of pink salmon or chum salmon on a circle of tomato. Place onion rings on top. Salt and pepper the dish. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven for twenty minutes. Bake until golden brown. hot appetizer decorate with leaves fresh basil or chopped dill.
Julien
Dishes from red fish in a cocotte maker - excellent festive snack. The product is ideally combined with seafood - it is worth preparing salmon (or salmon) julienne with shrimp. To do this, you need to mill red fish: remove the skin, select the bones.
Three hundred grams of shrimp should be boiled in salted water. When cool, clean. We put a whole shrimp on the bottom of the cocotte maker. We water it heavy cream or sour cream. We put a piece of red fish. Top with milk sauce again. Season with salt and pepper. Three cheese on top. Thus, we fill all the cocottes. We put them in the oven for a quarter of an hour.

It is only important that the filling is not too liquid and does not leave the dough. In this sense, tartlets with red fish are the perfect tandem. It will take 200 grams of salted salmon, chum salmon or trout. Cut the fish into small cubes. Grind two boiled hard-boiled eggs on a fine grater. We clean the cucumber from the skin. We cut it into small strips. Mix all the ingredients with half a pack of curd cheese. If the mass is still falling apart, fasten it with a spoon or two of mayonnaise. We lay out this filling in a slide on baskets. You can buy them ready-made, or you can bake them yourself. We decorate the top of each tartlet with a piece of olive or red caviar.

Cooking with garnish
Red fish is good because it is quite oily. This quality allows you to bake it in the oven without fear that the dish will come out too dry. This method of heat treatment preserves the vitamins present in this delicacy. Red fish in the oven is so fatty that you can cook a side dish with it - potatoes.
For the dish, it is best to take two steaks. We rub them with salt, herbs and spices, sprinkle with lemon juice and leave to marinate for twenty minutes. Boil four potatoes in their skins. We chop the onion into rings. Peel the potatoes and cut into circles up to one centimeter thick. Now cut off two sheets of foil (the side of the square is about 10 cm). Lubricate the middle with sour cream or mayonnaise. We put half the potatoes - a small pile. Place a steak on this pillow. Spray it with vegetable oil. We cover the fish with onion rings. We wrap the foil in an envelope. Do the same with the other steak. Lay out the envelopes on a baking sheet. Red fish is baked in the oven for about half an hour at a temperature of 180-190 o C. This recipe can be varied. For example, grate hard cheese on top of the onion. Or put together with potatoes bell pepper, tomatoes. We highly recommend trying a dish where zucchini will act as a “pillow”.

How to use salted fish? According to the concentration of salt in the tissues, fish are strongly salted (over 14% salt), medium salted (9-14%) and lightly salted (5-9%). Great content salt in strong salted fish makes it impossible to use this product without soaking.
Before soaking the fish, it should be washed, and if it is not gutted, processed (remove scales, entrails, head, gills). big fish usually cut into pieces. Soaking fish is best in running water: the fish is placed in a dish with a wire rack and left under the tap. If the fish is soaked in changeable water, then the soaking process should last 10-12 hours, provided that the water is changed every 2 hours.
Soaking salted fish is accompanied by the extraction of not only salt, but also other soluble substances - proteins and non-protein nitrogenous substances. The loss of the first reduces nutritional value product, second - his taste qualities. Salted fish, losing salt and other soluble substances in the process of soaking, absorbs water, and thereby its mass increases by 10-30%.
Salted herring is processed before soaking: the head is cut off and the insides are removed along with it. The abdominal cavity should be cleared of blood. Canned and boxed herring is usually not soaked. Gutted herring as a whole or in separate fillets is immersed for 10-22 hours in water, which must be changed 2-3 times.
Famous the old fashioned way speed up the soaking process. Without removing the skin, the herring is cut along the spine into two halves and soaked in fresh milk or strong sweetened tea. The infusion of tea contains tannins that prevent the softening of the pulp during soaking. Milk, on the contrary, softens the herring.
In some cases, fillets of hard-salted low-fat herring can be soaked for 1-2 minutes in a small amount hot water. The herring will soften and become more tender in taste.
And now about the intricacies of cooking dishes from salted fish. How to use salted fish?
Salted fish has drier meat than fresh fish, so it has long been customary to add juiciness products to salted fish dishes: vegetable oil, tomato puree, cream, all kinds of sauces(Polish, white, sour cream with horseradish, etc.). Vegetable oil is preferable for salted fish. And not only because it gives herring or salted mackerel juiciness and harmonizes with it. The fat of herring and some other salted fish contains unsaturated fatty acids. Among them are such biologically valuable as linoleic and arachidonic. In vegetable oil, arachidonic acid is completely absent, but there are a lot of oleic and linoleic acids. Therefore, the combination of herring with vegetable oil increases biological value prepared meals. All kinds of snacks from herring, sprat, herring with vegetable oil are dishes balanced in terms of fatty acids.
Garnishes for salted fish dishes can be potatoes, green onions, dill, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, onions, boiled beets or carrots, pickled mushrooms, raw grated apples and boiled eggs.
Herring and other salted fish are usually served on herring racks with boiled potatoes. On the sides of the herring, a garnish of pickled cucumbers is laid with a fence, boiled carrots. The dish is decorated with greens, onions, cut into rings.
Some types of salted sea fish, such as cod, herring, catfish, halibut, mackerel, etc., can be used to prepare stews, fried and boiled dishes. It is necessary to boil the fish in pieces, after soaking it, over low heat, in a large amount of water, constantly removing scale. If the fish is cooked too high, the meat will become fibrous and tough. Casseroles made from salted herring are delicious. The same fish is also suitable for grilling.
