Instructions
Step 1
Before cooking halibut fillets, you must defrost them. It is best to do this at room temperature, since when defrosting in a microwave oven, sometimes the bottom layer of meat has time to boil until the top layer melts. The type of fillet freezing, which can be dry or in ice glaze, does not affect the quality of the process. Accelerates the process of immersing the fish in water, but with this method all juices are washed out of it and it becomes dry and hard.
Step 2
After the fillet is ready to eat, rinse it and brush with a mixture of salt, seasoning and vegetable oil. You can use black pepper, Provencal herbs, marjoram as spices. You can purchase a ready-made set of seasonings for cooking fish in the store.
Step 3
After the fillet has been marinated for a couple of hours, it remains to cut it into portions. Then you need to dip the fish in a mixture of beaten egg and salt.
Step 4
In the future, the preparation of halibut depends on the taste preferences of the hostess. You can use crackers or flour. To do this, the breading material is poured into a slide on a flat plate and a piece of fillet is evenly rolled in it from all sides.
Step 5
Light the hotplate and place a frying pan of vegetable oil on it. It is best to use odorless oil, otherwise, when frying fish, the aroma will permeate not only the entire kitchen, but also the rest of the apartment. After the oil is hot enough, place the fillets in the pan. It takes several minutes to fry them on one side. Then turn the fish over and fry until crisp. Thus, it takes from five to seven minutes to obtain a delicate and tasty dish.
