How to quickly prepare a cheap and tasty fish appetizer from capelin

According to this recipe, capelin is prepared in a matter of minutes, so you can easily refuse to consume it in salted and smoked form, regularly enjoying delicious home-cooked fish. Despite its very affordable price and small size, capelin’s nutritional value is quite capable of competing with much more expensive representatives of the fish family in your diet. Thus, this fish contains 23% easily digestible proteins, iodine, selenium, vitamins A and D, essential Omega-3 fatty acids (slightly less than salmon - 8.2 g/kg versus 12). To preserve the nutrients to the maximum, it is better to steam it, but capelin in the oven turns out much tastier.
