Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make cutlets from minced pollock? Prepare your food. You can buy minced pollock ready-made or make it yourself from fish fillet, as I did. Homemade minced meat is much tastier than store-bought minced meat. If you have whole pollock carcasses, then cut them into fillets.

Step 2

Step 2
First, soak the bun in milk. For cutlets, they usually take already stale ones; a soft and fresh bun will not absorb the juice from the minced meat as well as a stale one will.

Step 3

Step 3
Then, using a blender or meat grinder (whichever is more convenient), grind the pollock fillet and onion. I ran the fish through the blender.

Step 4

Step 4
Add the soaked bun and egg to the fish. And twist the minced meat again. It will become homogeneous and very tender. If you use a meat grinder, then grind the bun together with the fish.

Step 5

Step 5
Add salt and pepper to taste and knead the minced meat thoroughly.

Step 6

Step 6
Form the minced meat into patties and roll them in breadcrumbs. The shape of the cutlets can be any — round or oblong.

Step 7

Step 7
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat. Place the cutlets on it. Make the heat medium. Fry the cutlets on both sides until golden brown.

Step 8

Step 8
To ensure the cutlets have a crispy crust, fry them without a lid.
