Fish marinated with carrots and onions

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make fish marinated with carrots and onions? Prepare all components according to the list. What fish is best to use? Hake, pollock or cod are ideal for this recipe. I was cooking hake. If you have frozen fish, remove it from the freezer and defrost it at room temperature.

2. STEP 2

   

   Clean the hake from scales and be sure to cut off the sharp fins. If you leave the fins, then during the cooking process some of them may separate from the fish, which will ruin the finished dish. Rinse the carcasses in cold water and dry with paper towels. There should be no excess water left on the fish.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the hake into small portions and lightly salt. Peel and wash the onions and carrots.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a thick-bottomed frying pan. Place the fish in a frying pan and fry over moderate heat until cooked. It took me about 8-10 minutes on each side.

5. STEP 5

   

   Chop the onion not very large. The cutting method can be any at your discretion (half rings, cubes, etc.). Grate the carrots using a coarse grater or a Korean salad grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the finished fish from the frying pan into a separate deep container.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add bay leaf and peppercorns.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add onion to the pan where the fish was fried. Fry over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add the carrots to the onions and cook everything together for about 10-15 minutes (don’t forget to stir). When the vegetables are ready, add tomato paste and finely chopped herbs to the frying pan. Adjust the amount of tomato paste to taste. The original recipe suggested using 5 tbsp, I only added 3 tbsp. and this turned out to be quite enough. Mix everything and keep it on the fire for just a few seconds.

10. STEP 10

    

    Send the tomato and vegetable frying to the fish and mix gently but thoroughly. If the fish turns out to be a little dry, add 1-2 tbsp. spoons of vegetable oil (can be unrefined). After the fish has cooled, place it in the refrigerator to set for at least a couple of hours. The longer the hake marinates, the tastier it will be.

11. STEP 11

    

    Serve the hake cold with the carrot and onion marinade. Very tasty as a stand-alone dish or as an addition to boiled rice or potatoes.

I wanted to cook fish for a light dinner. I really liked this recipe. Having all the ingredients on hand, I went to cook. I had frozen hake, I defrosted it at room temperature. I cleaned it of scales, guts and black film. Salted and fried in odorless oil. In the same frying pan I fried onions and carrots. Added tomato paste and a little water. Stewed vegetable sauce. Pour the marinade over the fried hake, add bay leaves and peppercorns. The dish sat in the refrigerator overnight. The fish marinated with carrots and onions turned out amazingly tasty. Served with mashed potatoes. The hake turned out juicy and tender, and also very aromatic and tasty. The vegetable sauce is incredible, slightly sweet, rich and delicious. Great dish! Many thanks to the author 😊

This is delicious! It’s a pity that mine don’t like this kind of fish and I cook it only for myself, and therefore rarely
