Pollock in the oven with onions and carrots

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pollock in the oven with onions and carrots? Prepare the necessary ingredients for cooking pollock in the oven with carrots and onions. If the fish is frozen, it must first be thawed at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Defrosting at lower temperatures will be more correct, as it avoids pronounced temperature contrast, as a result of which the fish retains its nutritional properties to the maximum.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut off all the fins of pollock with scissors. Rinse the fish thoroughly under cold water, removing small scales from the skin. Remove the black film from the belly so that the fish does not taste bitter. Dry the fish, cut with a sharp knife into portions of the desired size.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the fish in a convenient container, add salt, add seasonings, and stir. I used basil. You can use any spices and seasonings you want. Leave the fish for 20 minutes to soak in the seasonings.

4. STEP 4

   

   First peel and wash the onions. Cut the onion into thin quarters (that is, cut each onion ring into 4 parts). You can cut the onion into cubes or half rings. Choose the shape and size of the cut as desired.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the carrots, pre-washed in running water with a brush, and grate on a coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a frying pan with vegetable oil, fry the onion over medium heat for 3 minutes. At the same time, stir occasionally so that the onions are fried evenly and do not burn.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add carrots to the onions, stir. Fry the vegetables while stirring for another 5 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add tomato paste and paprika to the vegetables. They will give vegetables a pleasant color and additional taste. Pour in boiling water. Why boiling water? In order not to slow down the process of stewing vegetables. Add a little salt and mix everything.

9. STEP 9

   

   Simmer the vegetables over low heat with the lid closed until partially cooked. Vegetables should not be completely soft. They will reach full readiness when baked with fish.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place about 1/3 of the prepared vegetables evenly into the baking dish.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place pollock pieces on top.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cover the fish with the remaining vegetables. It is advisable that the top layer of vegetables covers the pieces of fish as much as possible. When baked, vegetables with tomato paste will soften and nourish the fish, making it more flavorful. Also, thanks to the vegetable “cap,” the fish will not dry out in the oven and will be juicy. You can additionally cover the top of the pan with foil.

13. STEP 13

    

    Bake pollock with vegetables in an oven preheated to 180C for 25-30 minutes. Baking time may vary depending on the operating characteristics of the oven and the material of the mold used.

14. STEP 14

    

    Serve pollock with vegetables hot with any side dish or as a separate dish. Bon appetit!

Everyone in my family loves fish, in any form. So today I cooked pollock in the oven with onions and carrots. The fish turned out juicy, thanks to its coat of carrots and onions. Easy to prepare, quick and tasty. And you don’t have to stand at the stove, watch so that the fish doesn’t burn. I got it ready in 20 minutes.

Yes, the fish is beautiful and probably many people have cooked something similar, which means the fish is not only beautiful, but also beloved. Everything seems familiar and simple, but personally, I learned two things from this recipe at once: giving the fish to marinate and using my favorite dill in fish dishes. THANK YOU!!!...Very healthy recipe.

An unusual juicy fish dish for lunch or dinner. The pollock in the oven with onions and carrots turned out to be very tender; by adding vegetables to the base, the dish turned out to be especially juicy and aromatic. We really liked it, thank you very much!

Thanks for the recipe. It turned out very tasty and beautiful. But I made some small changes. I didn’t add basil (it doesn’t work for us anyway). I had half a half-dried lemon lying around in the refrigerator and I decided to use it. Therefore, before covering the frying, I sprinkled lemon juice on the fish. And topped it with sour cream and mayonnaise sauce. The result is like this.
