Ingredients

Step cooking

1. To prepare a dish, you need to take 2 large carcasses of pollock, which are previously worth preparing. We wash the fish in advance under running water, peel it, cut off the fins and tail. There is no need to cut fish on the fillet. Cut the pollock into pieces of 2-2.5 cm.
   
2. Put the prepared pieces of pollock in a deep bowl and salt to taste. Immediately add one and a half teaspoons of sugar. Sprinkle fish with 0.5 tsp. ground coriander and black ground pepper. Season the pollock slices with a pinch of red ground pepper. If you do not like spicy dishes, then do not add a similar spice. Mix everything well so that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the fish.
   
3. We leave the pollock to stand, and at this time we prepare the vegetables. We cut one onion in half and cut into half rings. We put it in a separate bowl and add some salt. Grind another onion in the shape of a cube.
   
4. Rub on a coarse grater 1 carrot.
   
5. Pour 1-2 tbsp into the pan. l vegetable oil, put on fire and after a few minutes pour the onion, chopped into cubes. Fry a little until transparent, and add the grated carrots. Fry all vegetables until half-cooked, so that they remain a little crispy.
   
6. To half-finished carrots and onions add 2 tbsp. l tomato paste and mix thoroughly with a spatula. Warm up for several minutes without covering, and turn off the fire.
   
7. We turn to the preparation of filling for pollock. In a separate bowl, mix 3-4 tbsp. l mayonnaise with 150 ml cream. It is better to choose a product with 10% fat. First, add half the cream to mayonnaise, stirring with a whisk or a mixer at minimum speed. When the mixture becomes homogeneous, add the remaining cream, stirring again.
   
8. Lubricate the baking dish with a small amount of vegetable oil, evenly distributing it with a silicone brush.
   
9. At the bottom of the form, spread the salted onion in half rings.
   
10. Spread 2-3 bay leaves and slices of pollock on an onion pillow.
    
11. On top of the fish, evenly distribute the onion and carrot overcooking with a spatula.
    
12. Pour all the ingredients on top with a creamy mayonnaise sauce. We rub 100 g of hard cheese to your taste on a coarse grater and sprinkle on top.
    
13. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and set the dish to bake for 40-45 minutes. Put the finished fish on a plate, serve with mashed potatoes and fresh dill. If desired, the side dish can be replaced with any other.
