A CLASSIC ESCABECHE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the cup salt with 4 cups of water, and stir to combine. Brine the fish in this mixture for 30 to 45 minutes.

• Remove the fish to cool. Add the slivered onion, lower the heat to medium and cook until translucent. Remove to cool.
• Add all the remaining ingredients to the pan, turn the heat up to high, and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce by half, turn off the heat, and let cool.
