Fish Brine image

Fish deserve some salty foreplay just as much as pork and poultry. Every type of seafood is different in terms of density of the flesh, so different brine times are needed for different fish.

Yield Makes enough to brine fillets for 4 people; for whole fish, double the recipe

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon kosher salt

I followed the recipe exactly, but the fish was dry and overcooked.

The fish was a little too salty for my taste.

I've tried a lot of fish brine recipes, but this one is by far the best. The fish was cooked to perfection.

The brine added a subtle sweetness to the fish. I'll definitely be using this recipe again.

I was skeptical about brining fish, but I'm glad I tried it. The fish was so much more tender and flavorful than usual.

This fish brine recipe is a game-changer! The fish came out perfectly moist and flavorful. I'll never cook fish without brining it again.
