Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make fish in tomato sauce? Prepare your food. Any white sea fish is suitable - pollock, notothenia, cod, I usually cook hake using this recipe. Instead of tomato juice, you can use good tomato paste diluted with water. Wash and peel the vegetables.

2. STEP 2

   

   My fish is already gutted and without a head. If you have it whole, then first gut it and cut off the head. Be sure to remove the black film from the belly - it may taste bitter. Then clean the fish from scales, rinse well under running water, dry with paper towels and cut into portions. Add salt and let it sit for a while so that the fish is well salted.

   Pour flour into a deep plate. Roll the fish pieces in flour.

Classic is classic. A win-win. By the way, you can stew not only hake in this way, but also, for example, pike perch.

My husband and I love fish in tomato sauce. It turns out juicy and tasty! And in addition, a vegetable side dish. The recipe uses sea fish. Although mine is small, it is also marine). The carcasses were cut up, washed, dried and salted. Then I drained the released liquid and rolled the fish in flour. Quickly fried in a hot frying pan until golden brown. For the gravy, I stewed vegetables with tomatoes, adding vegetable seasoning and bay leaf. It turned out very fragrant! The fish was stewed in the gravy for about 10 minutes. During this time, almost all the tomato was absorbed into the fish and made it super juicy! But the time depends on the size of the pieces and the type of fish. This is my favorite way to cook fish. Tasty!

Even an unassuming hake, if prepared according to this recipe, will delight you with its taste. In the photo, the color is not as bright as in reality, the dish looks elegant, and it is not a shame to put it on the festive table. After frying, I removed the center bone from each piece of fish to make it easier to eat. Thank you nasstin for the delicious dish!
