How to fix salty pink salmon caviar? Remove excess salt

Caviar - an obligatory attribute of the holiday table. A wide range of products on the counter allows you to choose a product of any origin: pink salmon, chum salmon and others. But it often happens that when you open the jar the caviar turns out to be over-salted.

What should be the caviar

A quality product has certain characteristics: large and equal-sized eggs, thick consistency and a pleasant smell. The eggs should not be glued together. They will burst in the mouth.

Many manufacturers disguise low-quality product in iron jars. The product of poor quality can fall even with a large well-known supplier. In this case, it is better to salt the caviar yourself.

Self-salted caviar
Having bought pink salmon with caviar, many people throw it away. Housewives believe that salting is a complicated process. However, it is not. You need only water and salt.

First, the caviar is poured with water and left overnight. This will help separate the films and veins. Afterwards, it is poured with salt and stirred.

What to do if over-salted caviar

If the caviar turned out to be over-salted, it does not mean that it should be thrown away. There is a proven method to eliminate excess salt.

1. Caviar put in a bowl and pour water at room temperature in the ratio of 1:2.
2. Within 2 minutes, slowly stir to dissolve the salt particles in the water.
3. Drain the water through gauze or a fine sieve. Leave it for 10 minutes to let the excess moisture drain away.

There is another way to save the delicacy:

1. To do this, the caviar must be placed in plastic containers and sent to the freezer until completely frozen. After that, it should be defrosted for 12 hours in the refrigerator.
2. After the eggs are defrosted, they are poured with cold strong tea without sugar. All the eggs should be covered with it. Stir well and leave for 10 minutes. After, you need to drain all the liquid through a gauze or sieve. The delicacy should not be rinsed with hot water. This will cause the protein to curdle, and then all the caviar will go into the trash.

After all the manipulations, the fish product can be put in a container or served. But it should be borne in mind that it is recommended to wash the amount of caviar, which will be eaten when serving. Otherwise, it will become weathered and will quickly spoil.
