About Cancato
INACAP's salmon cancato, published by Marca Chile, layers fish with onion, tomato, longaniza and queso mantecoso. This oven-baked rendition brings together the fish, sausage and cheese associated with southern Chilean cancato.
Lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper season the salmon before it is arranged over sliced onion. Cheese, tomato, dried oregano and pieces of longaniza form the layers above it.
Dry white wine is added during baking. The cancato is served hot, with the salmon beneath its melted cheese, sliced vegetables and sausage.
