Pollock baked with zucchini, tomatoes and bell peppers

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Thaw the pollock fillet. How to properly fillet a whole fish? Remove the tail, head and fins. Cut along the ridge of the carcass to the spine. Turn over onto its side. Using a sharp knife, cut the meat from the spinal bone. Turn the carcass over and cut off the fillet on the other side. Clean the inside, removing the black film, as it is bitter and will spoil the taste. Use tweezers to remove the seeds. Remove the skin from the fillet using a knife. Rinse and be sure to dry well.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash and dry the tomatoes, cut them into thin slices. Choose fleshy, juicy and dense fruits.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onions. Cut it into large half rings. Rinse the knife with cold water to prevent your eyes from watering.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash a medium-sized zucchini and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Cut the fruit into four parts and then crosswise. You get small slices.

5. STEP 5

   

   Take any heat-resistant baking dish with high sides. Chop the vegetables and immediately transfer them to the pan. Add bell pepper to tomatoes, zucchini and onions. I used frozen ones, but of course fresh peppers would work great here too. Vary the amount of vegetables according to your taste. By the way, any vegetables will do – be sure to try this dish with eggplants during the season.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour refined vegetable oil with a high smoke point on top. It’s better to take olive oil, but, unfortunately, I didn’t have it today, so I took sunflower oil. Oil is needed to prevent the vegetables from drying out in the oven.

7. STEP 7

   

   Lightly salt the vegetables, sprinkle with Provençal herbs and stir. Seasonings can be used at your discretion. Place the pan in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   While the vegetables are baking, salt the pollock or sprinkle it with lemon juice, rub with a mixture of peppers or other favorite fish spices.

9. STEP 9

   

   Wash the greens (dill, parsley) and dry.

10. STEP 10

    

    Finely chop the greens.

11. STEP 11

    

    After 10 minutes, remove the pan with vegetables and stir again. Return to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes until cooked through. Focus on the features of your technology.

12. STEP 12

    

    Remove the pan from the oven and stir the vegetables again. Place pollock fillets on top of them. Bake for another 8-10 minutes.

13. STEP 13

    

    Our pollock with vegetables is ready. All that remains is to place the dish on a plate and garnish with fresh chopped herbs!
