    When serving, sprinkle the pink salmon hehe with sesame seeds toasted in a dry pan and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy your meal!

Korean dishes can combine several flavors at the same time - spicy, sour, sweet, salty. This is the main feature of Asian cuisine.

The addition of chili pepper gives pink salmon heh a pungent taste. Instead, you can take ground red or hot pepper.

Guided by the preferences of the household and my own taste, I replaced the chili pepper with ground black. Therefore, the snack turned out to be moderately spicy and very fragrant.
Increased the pickling time, leaving the he in the refrigerator until the next day. In my opinion, this is the best and most reliable option. The fish is better marinated, nourished with the taste and aroma of spices and vegetables.

If desired, for greater sharpness and piquancy, you can increase the amount of garlic and pepper. You can also add any ready-made seasoning for fish.
