1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pollock with rice? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. My rice is short grain. You can find out how to choose rice by reading the article on this topic at the end of the recipe. Remove frozen fish from the freezer in advance. You will learn all the intricacies of defrosting from the article below the steps.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil the rice until half cooked.

3. STEP 3

   

   Clean the pollock from the insides, rinse well under running water and cut the fillet from the carcass with a sharp knife.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the fillet into portions.

5. STEP 5

   

   Salt and pepper the pollock, grease well with sunflower oil and leave it like that while the rice cooks. Peel the onion, wash it, cut it in any convenient way (you can use rings, half rings, I cut it into cubes). Lightly fry it in a frying pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   Salt the cooked rice until half cooked, add dry thyme and butter, stir. You can use any spices to suit your taste. Place half the rice in the bowl, then the fried onions and the rice again. You can first lay out all the rice and put onions on top - whatever you like.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place marinated pieces of pollock on top of the rice and drizzle with more oil.

8. STEP 8

   

   To make the fish more juicy, you can sprinkle it with grated cheese. Cover and cook for 10 minutes on the stove, 20 minutes in the oven, or 5 minutes in the microwave.

Nice hearty dish, thank you. As an option, I will offer pollock with potatoes in the oven.

I prepared pollock with rice for dinner. The author offers various options for the dish and methods of preparing it - the recipe is universal. I decided to cook it in the microwave. I salted the pollock fillet, added my favorite spices for fish, a tablespoon of vegetable oil and left it to marinate a little. Place the washed rice in a heat-resistant glass pan, add salt and add water in a ratio of 2:1 (1 part rice - 2 parts water). I cooked for about 20 minutes at full power (about 10 minutes from the start of cooking I checked the degree of readiness and whether there was enough liquid). Cut the onion into half rings, add salt and fry in a frying pan until semi-soft. I placed the fried onions on the rice, on the onions with pieces of pollock, and immediately grated the cheese on top. The rice was completely cooked, all the liquid had been absorbed, so I added a little more water so as not to dry out the rice (I used 100 ml), covered the pan with a lid and cooked in the microwave for another 15 minutes. I usually cook sea fish with rice, so I had no doubt that everyone would like it, but the unusual combination of fish with gently melted cheese was very pleasing. Thanks for the recipe, naniki!
