Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to grill pollock? Prepare all the necessary ingredients to cook pollock fillet on a grill pan. Of course, you can buy ready-made fillets in the store, but along with it you also buy a significant portion of frozen water. In addition, after thawing, the fillet can be folded into several pieces instead of one full piece.

2. STEP 2

   

   From defrosted pollock, cut off all the fins with kitchen scissors, cut the belly and remove the entrails and, of course, the black film. If there are green stains on the surface of the meat, cut off sparingly. This caused the gall bladder to burst and the meat became bitter. It won't be possible to wash it off. Dry the pollock and insert a knife under the bone. Use your left hand (if you are right-handed) to press down on the fish, and with a knife in your right hand, cut off the bottom fillet, pressing the blade against the bone.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then turn the pollock over and cut off the bottom fillet by inserting a knife under the bone and pressing it against it. Be careful not to cut yourself.

4. STEP 4

   

   Fillet the second fish. Cut off the rib bones.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the fillets on the board in one layer, salt and pepper (if desired) the fish on both sides.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the garlic and cut it in half lengthwise. Pour vegetable oil into a grill pan and heat over medium heat. Place chopped garlic and thyme sprigs in it. Thyme can be taken not only fresh, but also dried. Fry for 2 minutes to flavor the oil.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour flour into a plate and bread the pollock fillet on both sides. You can use absolutely any flour, the main thing is that it is of good quality.

8. STEP 8

   

   Push the roasted garlic and thyme sprigs to the edges of the pan. Place the breaded fillets on the grill pan, skin side down. Fry the fillet, without pressing, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Do not fry for too long; the pollock may become dry.

9. STEP 9

   

   Turn the fillet over to the other side and fry until done. If you want a clear pattern, press the fillet with a spatula while frying. This is not important for us, so I didn’t press too hard. Once the fish is fried, transfer to plates and serve immediately.

    Bon appetit.

I saw a recipe for pollock fillet in a grill pan and got excited about the idea of ​​cooking the fish. I cooked it, however, in a regular frying pan. To do this, I took one pollock carcass - quite large. I cleaned it, cut off the fins, removed the entrails, and cut off the fillets. I cut each into two parts, salted, peppered, sprinkled with the prepared seasoning, which I replaced with thyme and thyme, and left to marinate a little. Meanwhile, I put onions (added myself) and garlic in a heated frying pan, greased with vegetable oil, for two minutes. Then I rolled each fillet in flour and fried it on both sides until golden brown. The fish turned out fragrant, absorbing the aromas of vegetables and herbs from the seasoning. The meat inside is very tender. The crispy crust is simply amazing. We ate it with such pleasure! Oh-so delicious, you can’t stop eating! Thank you so much for the recipe!
