Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make cutlets from minced fish? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Cutlets can be made from ready-made minced fish, but it is better to make the minced meat yourself from fresh fish. You can use any fish for the cutlets according to your taste and availability; I used pollock. This fish has a less pronounced specific fishy smell, fewer small bones, is convenient in preparing such dishes and is a fairly cheap product. Wash the fish carcass, clean and gut it.

Step 2

Step 2
Separate the pulp from the bones and place in a blender bowl, grind until minced.

Step 3

Step 3
There is no need to be afraid that small bones will remain in the minced meat; the blender will thoroughly grind the entire mass. Including the bones. If you don’t have a blender at hand, you can grind the fish fillets in a regular meat grinder.

Step 4

Step 4
To make the cutlets softer, fluffier and more tender, add a crumb of white bread or a loaf soaked in milk to the minced fish. To easily mask the specific taste of fish, if desired, you can add finely chopped fresh dill to the minced meat; it will make the cutlets more flavorful.

Peel the onions and cut into pieces.

Step 7
Send a raw chicken egg there. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste, mix the ingredients thoroughly with a blender until smooth.

Step 8

Step 8
Using hands soaked in cold water, form minced fish into cutlets and roll them in wheat flour. Instead of flour, you can use breadcrumbs to make the cutlets with a thick, crispy crust.

Step 9

Step 9
Pour vegetable oil into the frying pan. Warm it up. Place the cutlets in the oil, reduce the heat to medium, fry the cutlets on both sides until golden brown.

Step 10

Step 10
Then cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low and keep the cutlets in the pan for another 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat, serve the cutlets with any side dish to your taste or as a separate dish with some sauce and bread. Bon appetit!
