Preparation
Step 1
Choose any canned fish you like - saury, sardines, or other fish in oil. Use parboiled rice if possible.
Step 2
Wash the eggs with baking soda and a brush, rinse under running water to ensure safety. Boil the eggs hard for 8-10 minutes over medium heat. Cool in cold water and peel. Cook rice in boiling, lightly salted water for 15-20 minutes until done. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold drinking water to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Finely chop the red onion, place it in a bowl, and pour boiling water over it for 2-3 minutes. Drain the hot water and rinse with cold drinking water to remove bitterness. If you don’t have red onion, you can substitute yellow or white onion. To avoid tears while chopping, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. Rub the cutting board with a slice of lemon to prevent onion odor absorption.
Step 4
Drain the liquid from the canned fish and mash the fish with a fork, removing bones.
Step 5
For convenience, assemble the salad in layers using a serving ring. Place the ring on a plate, put the cooked rice as the first layer, and press it down to make it compact. Lightly spread mayonnaise on this and each following layer.
Step 6
Add the mashed canned fish as the second layer.
Step 7
Cover the fish with a layer of onion.
Step 8
Separate boiled eggs into whites and yolks. Reserve 2 yolks for garnish. Grate all whites and 1 yolk on a coarse grater and add as the next layer in the ring.
Step 9
Grate the remaining 2 yolks on a fine grater and sprinkle over the top layer. Remove the ring. Garnish with fresh herbs and chill slightly before serving. Your delicious canned fish salad is ready. Enjoy!
