Pink salmon caviar is one of the healthiest types of fish caviar. It contains essential trace elements, easily digestible proteins and unsaturated fatty acids.

This recipe is the simplest and most convenient, especially if you are salting pink salmon caviar for the first time. For high-quality salting, a special solution is used - brine. This guarantees a fast and tasty result.
