Aspic for the New Year can be prepared not only from some kind of meat, but also from pink salmon. It will turn out no less tasty, beautiful and festive in appearance. When choosing fish in the fish pavilion, you should give preference to those that do not have any yellow spots and dents. You should also ask the seller about the relative freshness of pink salmon. If you buy it in a store, and it is packed in cling film, then be sure to pay attention to its expiration date.
To make the aspic look more original, it should be done in a square shape, and, in turn, cover it with cling film. Before serving the aspic to the table, the form should be turned over onto a dish. So the filler will easily (due to the cling film) fall out of it, and will have the same shape into which it was poured.
