Chum salmon fish cutlets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make fish cutlets from chum salmon? One of the secrets to juicy and soft cutlets is adding soaked bread to the minced meat. White bread is best suited for this; I made a loaf. Cut the bread into pieces and pour milk over it. Leave it to soak for 10 minutes. Turn the pieces occasionally to ensure the bread soaks evenly.

2. STEP 2

   

   For cutlets, it is better to use chilled fillets, but if, like me, you have frozen fillets, you need to completely defrost them. Defrost fish correctly; to do this, transfer it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator in advance. This way, the beneficial substances and correct consistency of the fillet will be preserved as much as possible. Cut the thawed chum salmon fillet into small pieces and make minced meat from it. You can use a meat grinder, or you can use a blender.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onions and carrots, rinse, cut into pieces and also chop using a meat grinder or in a blender. This is the second secret of tender fish cutlets - carrots in the composition. It will not only make the cutlets juicier, but also give them a beautiful color.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add two eggs, chopped onions and carrots to the minced fish. Grind the swollen loaf with your hands or in a blender and add it to the minced meat. Salt, pepper, stir. Form cutlets, roll in flour, fry in a hot frying pan with vegetable oil for two minutes on each side, then cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes. It is better to use a frying pan with a non-stick coating. Bon appetit!
