Fish with garnish

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 50 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients for fried fish with garnish. Any fish can be used for frying; some prefer river fish, others prefer sea fish. One of the popular varieties of fish suitable for frying is pollock. It has very few bones and a minimum of odor during frying, which simplifies and speeds up the cooking process itself.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash and clean the fish; if the pollock has a head, remove the head. We cut the carcass into portions without removing the bones. We wash the pollock pieces again and dry them with paper towels.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour wheat flour or breadcrumbs into a plate and roll the fish into them on all sides. After frying, the fish pieces will have a crispy golden brown crust. To get pieces of fish in a juicy and soft batter, you can beat a chicken egg and dip the fish first in the egg, and then roll in flour. Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan. Turn on the fire. When the oil is hot, place the fish pieces on it.

4. STEP 4

   

   Immediately salt and pepper the fish in the pan. Fry the pollock pieces over high heat for 5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then turn over and fry on the other side. Reduce heat to medium. Pour just a little water into the pan so that the fish does not burn. Cover the pan with a lid and keep the fish on the fire for about 20 minutes. Then remove the cover. Keep the fish on the fire for several minutes. Turn off the fire.

5. STEP 5

   

   While the fish is frying, you can prepare a side dish. Pasta, rice and mashed potatoes are excellent side dishes for fried fish. The fastest can be called pasta, literally, 10 minutes and the side dish for the fish is ready. Pour cold, clean water into the pan. Add a pinch of salt. Put the pan on the fire. When the water boils, put any kind of pasta into the water to suit your taste, for example, spaghetti, horns, shells, spirals and others.

6. STEP 6

   

   Stir immediately to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cook the pasta over medium heat for about 7-10 minutes, depending on the type (durum wheat or not) and the time indicated by the manufacturer on the package. Drain the water, place the pasta in a colander, rinse with cold water and return it to the pan. Add a piece of butter and salt to taste.

7. STEP 7

   

   Serve fish with pasta to the table. Bon appetit!
