Pink salmon is a valuable and tasty fish from the salmon family. For a festive table, you can prepare simple but elegant sandwiches with pickled, salted or smoked salmon, they are especially good for the New Year's menu. Since pink salmon is a wild fish, I think eating it is preferable to Norwegian salmon grown on artificial forage in ponds.
Of course, it is better to salt or marinate fish independently, this must be done at least a day before direct consumption of food or cooking sandwiches.
