Ingredients
- 1-1ยฝ lb Fish fillets (cod, pollock, or haddock works too (or 4 large fillets or 450g-680g))
- himalayan pink salt (according to taste)
Method
- Place the fish fillets in a large enough pot and bring to the boil for 10-15 minutes, until the fish is more opaque (that's when it's cooked).
- Once boiled, allow to cool before straining off the excess water.
- Use two forks to flake the fish by pulling it apart.
- Sprinkle the amount of salt depending on how salty you want your fish.
- Use the salt fish as needed accordingly.
