Minced salmon cutlets

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make minced salmon cutlets? Prepare your food. You can use ready-made minced meat or make it yourself. I used fillet that was pre-cleaned from skin and bones. You can also make your own breadcrumbs from dried bread.

2. STEP 2

   

   Soak white bread in milk until it softens well. It’s better to take a slightly stale loaf or white bread - it will better absorb and then retain liquid, which will make the cutlets more juicy.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the pre-peeled onions and chop them randomly, not too coarsely.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the chopped onion and the bread, squeezed out of excess liquid, into a blender.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grind everything until smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the salmon fillet into pieces and place in a blender.

7. STEP 7

   

   Grind the fish fillet until you obtain a homogeneous, smooth mass. You can pass the fillet through a meat grinder, but using a blender will make the minced meat more elastic and soft.

8. STEP 8

   

   To prepare minced meat, take a convenient wide container. Combine minced fish, chopped onion and loaf, beat in the egg and add salt. You can add any spices you want and taste.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix everything well until smooth. The minced meat turns out to be quite viscous and sticks to your hands. Therefore, it will be convenient to form cutlets with your hands dipped in water.

10. STEP 10

    

    Form the minced meat into a cutlet of the desired shape and size.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bread the cutlet on both sides with breadcrumbs.

12. STEP 12

    

    Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and place the neatly formed cutlets. Fry the cutlets over moderately high heat until golden brown on one side.

13. STEP 13

    

    Turn the cutlets over and fry the other side in the same way. Thanks to frying, all the juices will be sealed inside the cutlets, which will make them more juicy and tasty.

14. STEP 14

    

    Cover the bottom of the pan with foil and place the fried cutlets.

15. STEP 15

    

    Bake the fish cutlets until cooked in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 20 minutes.

16. STEP 16

    

    Serve the salmon cutlets hot with a side dish of potatoes, cereals, and stewed vegetables. Complete with fresh herbs. Bon appetit!

I very rarely cook fish dishes, since my child does not eat fish. I bought frozen minced salmon and found this recipe. I liked the simplicity and speed of preparation. I made minced salmon cutlets using this recipe. The minced salmon was previously defrosted. Added crushed loaf without crust in milk, egg and onion. The only spices I added were salt and pepper. The minced meat came out viscous, as the author writes. I made cutlets with wet hands and rolled them in breadcrumbs. Fry over high heat until golden brown. Bring it to readiness in a frying pan under a lid over low heat for 5 minutes as recommended by the author. The aroma of the fish cutlets was magnificent. Warm minced salmon cutlets were soft and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. To everyone's surprise, my child devoured a couple of fish cakes. It's very tasty, simple and fast. Served with vegetable salad. The author of the recipe writes correctly - even the little picky people liked it) Excellent recipe. Many thanks to the author!
