Cured salmon roe
Salmon are out and about. This quick cure turns fresh salmon roe into a great snack or addition to a charcuterie plate. Once you cure the eggs they will last about two weeks in the fridge, or six months in the freezer. If you’re sensitive to salt, taste the roe after 10 minutes and adjust accordingly. If you’d like them a bit more salty, try letting them soak for 25 minutes or half an hour.
