Fish cutlets from pike perch

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make fish cutlets from pike perch? Prepare your food. If the fish has been frozen, defrost it first. Read about how to do it correctly at the end of the recipe. Instead of cream, you can use sour cream; 20% fat content will be enough in any case. White bread for cutlets is better if stale, cut off the crusts.

2. STEP 2

   

   Crumble pieces of loaf without crusts into a bowl with cream or sour cream. Leave to soak while you prepare the minced meat. Stir the mixture a couple of times so that the bread soaks evenly.

3. STEP 3

   

   Clean the pike perch carcass from entrails and scales, wash and dry with paper napkins. Remove the black film as it is bitter and will ruin the taste. Cut off the fillet. How to properly fillet a whole fish? Remove the tail, head and fins. Cut along the ridge of the carcass to the spine. Turn over onto its side. Using a sharp knife, cut the meat from the spinal bone. Turn the carcass over and cut off the fillet on the other side. The fillet will be used for minced meat. Everything else is in the ear.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the onion and garlic. Cut the pike perch fillet and onion into pieces. Grind them with a blender (or pass through a meat grinder). Or you can not grind the onion, but chop it very finely and add it to the minced fish.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add bread soaked in cream or sour cream, egg, salt, sugar (or honey), pepper to the minced meat and mix thoroughly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour water into a separate bowl. Beat the minced meat thoroughly against the sides of the bowl. Using wet hands, form round or oval patties. Each time, dip your hands in water before making another cutlet so that the minced meat does not stick to your hands.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then roll the cutlets in breadcrumbs and place on a dry work surface or flat dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Heat a frying pan over medium heat, pour vegetable oil into it. Place the cutlets. Fry them until golden brown on both sides over low heat. Fry all the minced meat in this way. I ended up with two pans of cutlets.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the fried cutlets in the same frying pan or other suitable container, add a little hot water and leave to simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    While the cutlets are stewing, prepare the sauce. How to make sauce? Prepare your food. Boil hard-boiled eggs, peel them. Rinse the onions or herbs well and dry them. Green onions can be replaced with any greens you like. This sauce with dill is very tasty.

11. STEP 11

    

    Chop the onion, garlic, eggs and cucumbers into cubes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place all ingredients for the sauce in a bowl, add mayonnaise and mix thoroughly until smooth. Serve the sauce over the pike perch cutlets. Bon appetit!

Our fisherman grandfather treated us to a fresh catch, namely pike perch. We rarely have pike perch, so I started looking for a recipe. I found this one and didn’t regret making cutlets using it. This fish is low-fat, healthy, even dietary. And the cutlets turned out tender and juicy. Thanks to the cream (I used 20 percent), the pike perch cutlets turned out fluffy and soft. I did not add black pepper, but I did add sugar according to the recipe. It turned out that the cutlets taste better with it! I recommend it for cooking!
