Clean hairtail, cut it into sections, coat it with a thin layer of salt, then put it in a bamboo board or a mesh laundry basket, cover it with a piece of gauze to prevent flies from biting, and then put the bamboo board in the shade outside to dry for half a day.
Turn 1 ~ 2 times during air drying to make the surface energy of hairtail section fully dry. It usually takes half a day. At this time, if you gently press hairtail with your hands, you will feel much harder before you can bake it.
Pickling and air drying is an essential key step for pickling hairtail in Shanghai. After this treatment, the hairtail meat is compact and the epidermis is intact when baking.
Buy hairtail, wash and divide into pieces, brush a layer of oil on oven paper, put hairtail pieces into baking tray, brush a layer of oil on hairtail, turn it over at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, and then brush 15 to 20 minutes. If you like crispy food, you can brush the oil again and bake it for a few minutes.
You can eat it directly after taking it out, or you can go back to the pot and braise it. I like hairtail with salty and crisp edges and serve it directly.
Some friends may have doubts about the taste of pickled hairtail, because the whole dish only uses salt. Will hairtail be delicious?
In fact, hairtail itself tastes delicious. After curing and air-drying, it can not only make the meat of hairtail firm, but also remove the fishy smell of hairtail itself, leaving only the delicacy of hairtail. Adding other seasonings will only spoil this delicious taste.
I have loved fish since I was a child, and I also like to eat cold fish. Mom used to always say that I looked like a cat. Hairtail is my favorite fish, and my mother often cooks it. In this festival, I especially miss my hometown, my relatives in my hometown and my mother's cooking!
Last week, I went to my girlfriend's house for lunch to catch up with the schedule, so I bought a pack of raw cod and steamed it in the microwave for seven minutes.
Specific operation: put the fish pieces into a large bowl and add salt, sugar and onion ginger wine. Because cod itself has no oil, you can add a little oil. If it's a river fish, it doesn't need to refuel if it has oil.
Just put the fish tank in the microwave for seven minutes!
My best friend prepared a sumptuous meal.
