How to make a canned fish salad with rice and egg? Prepare the ingredients. Boil and cool the eggs in advance, a salad made with warm ingredients will quickly deteriorate. Canned fish can be used to your liking. I have saira.

Pre-boil the rice in a large amount of boiling salted water until cooked. Then tip the rice into a colander and let drain all the water. After that, I also wash it with clean drinking water so that it does not stick together. Cool the rice. It should turn out to be crumbly.

Remove the canned fish from the jar, shake off excess moisture. Open with a fork. If liquid remains in the fish bowl after that, drain it.

Wash, dry and grate the cucumbers on a coarse grater or grater for Korean carrots. The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut. Squeeze the grated cucumbers from excess moisture.

Boil the eggs hard-boiled, cool and peel. Then grate over a coarse grater. How to boil hard-boiled eggs? Put them in cold water, set them to cook on a small heat. Cook the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. It is better to clean the shell from a sharp temperature difference. If desired, you can grate proteins and yolks separately and form two separate layers from them.

Wash dill and parsley, dry and chop finely. If desired, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, cilantro, green onions or use a mixture of different herbs.

Place a cooking ring (Ø 14 cm) on the plate. Lay out a layer of canned fish and flatten. Top with a mesh of mayonnaise.

Spread a layer of boiled rice over the fish and pour mayonnaise over it.

Next, distribute the fresh cucumbers and salt lightly. Mayonnaise does not need to lubricate them. They are already quite juicy.

Put grated eggs on cucumbers and pour mayonnaise over them.

Top with a generous sprinkle of crushed greens over the salad. Place the salad for 1 hour in the fridge for soaking.

Remove the cooking ring before serving. Serve the salad to the table, decorating with cherry tomatoes and circles of cucumbers. Enjoy your meal!
