Quick Salted Salmon – How to Soothe Salmon in 3 Minutes

It all comes down to the marriage of salt and sugar which will cure and therefore preserve the salmon or any other fish. Generally speaking you can't go wrong with a 2:1 ratio of salt to sugar when curing fish.

However the time of the brining process is essential and depends largely on the thickness of the fish fillet to be brined.

Smoked salmon especially farmed salmon is often quite fatty. However by curing the salmon fillet much of the fatty structures are removed from the meat. The resulting cured salmon is leaner easier to cut and a pleasure to eat.
