Good afternoon, my reader. Lightly salted mackerel for dinner is a very appetizing appetizer that you can cook only with your own hands, because the store does not have such an appetizing salting and spicy marinade. The cooking time for such a dish is only 2 hours. The salinity of the fish in this case will depend on how long you keep it in the brine. Usually, pickled fish is cooked within 12 hours, but here we will only spend a couple of hours, and this will significantly save your time, and the taste of the dish will still turn out to be simply divine!
