Hake with onions and carrots fried in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry hake with onions and carrots in a frying pan? Prepare your food. Defrost the fish first by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator - this way the defrosting process will be the most delicate. Wash the onions and carrots, peel and dry. Take refined, odorless oil. You can replace some of the flour for breading with starch - then the crust on the fish will be crispier.

2. STEP 2

   

   Clean the thawed fish from scales, if any, cut off the head and tail, cut the belly and remove the entrails (I already had gutted fish). Be sure to remove the inner black film - it may taste bitter. Use scissors to cut off the top and bottom fins. Cut the carcass into portions, about 2 cm wide.

3. STEP 3

   

   Salt and pepper the pieces on each side. You can also use any fish seasonings.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the onion into thin feathers.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat a frying pan over medium heat, pour vegetable oil into it for frying. Place onions and carrots in oil. Fry them, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until soft. You can then remove the vegetables from the pan or, like I did, push them to the edge. I had one fish, everything fit, if there are more pieces, then remove the onions and carrots.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add a little more oil to the pan. Dredge each piece of hake in flour. Place the pieces in the pan. Move it so that the fire is under the fish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fry them over low heat until golden brown on one side, this will take about 5 minutes. Then turn over to the other side. Don't forget to stir the onions and carrots. Fry the fish until cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Our pan-fried hake with onions and carrots is ready.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve the fried hake to the table. Bon appetit!

I liked the recipe for hake with onions and carrots fried in a frying pan. I wanted to fry the fish in something unusual. Only the hake was replaced with fresh pike perch. I also cut it into portions and salted it, and also lightly sprinkled it with lemon juice. While the fish was marinating, I began to fry the onions and carrots, then moved the frying to the side and laid out the pieces of fish. The fish was rolled in flour for a crispy crust and to prevent the pieces from sticking to the pan. A wonderful dish, quick to prepare and delicious! The fish turns out juicy with a crispy crust. And there is an additional side dish of vegetables. Thanks for the recipe!
