Step cooking

Preparation of raw materials and minced meat

1. Finely chop one peeled onion and fry until golden in a pan. The smell of fried onions will eliminate the unpleasant fish smell in the product.
   
2. Rinse and chop 400 g fillet of pollock, mince with a fried onion through a meat grinder.
   
3. Separate the whites of two eggs from the yolks and beat with a whisk until lush foam.
   
4. To the prepared fish mass add 150 g of cottage cheese, 1 bunch of finely chopped greens, 50 g of semolina, whipped proteins. Stuff the minced meat with salt, ground pepper and, whisking thoroughly, stir until a homogeneous consistency. Knock out well to seal the cutlet mass. Put the prepared mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Semolina absorbs fish juice, the smell of fried onions, fresh herbs and pepper. Cutlets will be juicier and more aromatic.
   

Important!The main culinary quality of fish cakes is considered to be softness and tenderness of consistency, which is achieved by grinding and mixing. The addition of eggs, cottage cheese, onions and herbs gives the finished dish the necessary juiciness and aroma.

Making and frying

1. With wet hands, divide the cutlet mass into parts, arrange in the form of round cutlets, roll well in ground breadcrumbs.
   
2. Strongly heat the pan with fat and fry the products on both sides to form a beautiful golden crust, and then, significantly reducing the heating of the stove, bring to readiness under a closed lid.
