To keep it tasty, wrap salted fish in a piece of moist cloth dipped in a weak solution of vinegar, and put it in a plastic bag, which will need to be tightly closed so that air does not penetrate into it and the fish is not saturated with foreign odors.

Pour some olive oil on top of the fish and close the jar well with a tight-fitting lid. In this form, salmon will stand for 25-30 days without loss of taste and quality.
