Chopped pollock fish cutlets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chopped fish cutlets from pollock? Very simple and fast! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. In addition to pollock, you can prepare such cutlets from any white or red fish. You can cook from fresh or frozen fish. Frozen fish must first be defrosted on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

2. STEP 2

   

   How to properly fillet a whole fish? Remove the tail, head and fins. Cut along the ridge of the carcass to the spine. Remove the skin from the fish. Using a sharp knife, cut the meat from the spinal bone. Turn the carcass over and cut off the fillet on the other side. Check the resulting fillets for bones.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the fish fillet into small pieces. As a result, from two fish with a total weight of 650 g, you get a little more than 300 g of fish fillet. You can make cutlets from ready-made fish fillets, fresh or frozen.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the onion into small cubes. If you or your children do not like onions, you can omit them altogether. The cutlets will turn out juicy without it.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a bowl, combine the fish, onion, and eggs cut into pieces. Season the mixture with salt, pepper and stir.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add mayonnaise and mix the mixture thoroughly again.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add flour and mix again. Adjust the amount of flour depending on the density of the mass. It should not be very dense, but at the same time viscous and not spreading.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the fish mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. During this time, the mass will thicken a little more.

9. STEP 9

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place a tablespoon of the fish mixture into the hot oil and form into small cutlets. I got 8 cutlets. Fry the fish cutlets for about 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. The exact frying time depends on the degree of heating and the thickness of the cutlets.

10. STEP 10

    

    Transfer the finished cutlets to a plate and serve immediately. You can serve the cutlets with any side dish and any sauce. Bon appetit!

I prepared chopped fish cutlets from pollock. The fish was freed from bones and skin and chopped with a knife. I didn’t give up the onion, I grated it, it seems to me that it turns out more tender than when chopping it and it’s easier to squeeze out the excess liquid if necessary than when chopping it with a blender. Add eggs, mayonnaise, salt, spices and flour to the bowl with fish and onions. The convenient thing is that you don’t need to form the cutlets by hand. Fried in a thick-walled frying pan. The cutlets turned out very tender and juicy. We all love fish dishes and we really liked these cutlets. Thanks for the recipe, Maria!

A simple but delicious fish cutlet recipe! Chopped fish cutlets from pollock are juicy and aromatic, due to the fact that the minced meat is not twisted in a meat grinder, but is finely chopped with a knife. Thank you so much for the recipe!
