When talking about pollock fish, one immediately remembers appetizing pieces with a ruddy crispy crust or boiled pieces with mashed potatoes. But, if you fantasize a little and add a little time and effort, then you can prepare several simple and original dishes that are also suitable for dinner with the family, and will also be appropriate on the festive table.
Pollock with milk
The cooking method practically does not differ from the traditional fried, but there is one point: when the fish is ready, add 0.5 tbsp. milk, cover and leave for 5-7 minutes. The pulp will become unusually tender and a pleasant sweetish aftertaste will appear.
Pollock in batter
To do this, you need a fish fillet, you can make it yourself, carefully separating the pulp from the bones.
For batter you will need:
- Eggs - 2 pcs.
- Salt - 1/3 tsp
- Soda - ¼ tsp
- Mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon
- Flour - how much it will take.
Beat the eggs with salt and soda until smooth, add mayonnaise and mix thoroughly. Pour the flour little by little, stirring actively so that no lumps form. The batter should be slightly thicker than sour cream.
We put a deep frying pan on the fire, pour in refined sunflower oil, bring to a boil.
Cut the fillets into pieces about 3 * 4cm in size, gently dip them in the batter and put them in the pan, cover with a lid. The fire should be moderate. Fry for 5-6 minutes on each side, put the fish on a paper napkin so that the glass has excess oil. The dish is served both hot and cold.
Oven baked pollock with carrots and onions
For this dish you will need:
- Pollock fillet 600 - 800 gr.
- Large carrots - 1 pc.
- Large onion - 1 pc.
- Mayonnaise 2-3 tbsp
- Salt, ground pepper.
- Sunflower oil.
Rub the carrots on a coarse grater, cut the onion into thin rings and pour everything into a frying pan preheated with oil. Add salt and pepper to taste, stir, cover and sauté until tender. Sprinkle the baking dish with salt and pepper and place the fish pieces tightly together. Lubricate the fish with mayonnaise (preferably low-fat so that it spreads well) and add vegetables. We put a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180 degrees, bake for 30-35 minutes.
