Pollock quite often ends up on the dinner table. Many people love this fish for its affordability and the absence of small bones. On store shelves, pollock can be found in various versions: from uncut carcasses to fillets. And if the second option is already ready, then you will have to tinker a little with the first.
This fish does not require any special processing. First, the carcasses need to be defrosted. It is better to do this naturally so that the fish does not lose its beneficial properties. To do this, you need to place the pollock in the refrigerator and wait until the process is completed.
Pollock scales are very small and barely noticeable. It does not spoil the finished dish, but you should still get rid of it. The scales of this fish are easily peeled off the skin. Just scrape them with a regular knife.
After cleaning, cut off the head of the fish, stepping back at least a centimeter from the gills. After this, cut the belly and remove all the insides. You need to pay special attention to the dark film - it should not remain at all, because it will give the dish an unpleasant bitterness. After removing the entrails, rinse the carcass well with water and cut off the fins.
If necessary, you can fillet the pollock using a knife, separating the meat from the spine. But you need to work carefully, because... The fish is very delicate and any carelessness will result in damage to the integrity of the fillet.

4. Add salt and pepper to the pieces in a bowl and mix gently. Let the fish sit for a few minutes and let it salt a little.
5.While the fish is salting, prepare the remaining ingredients, cut the tomatoes into slices.

Pollock in the oven with vegetables and sour cream Bechamel sauce
Be prepared for the fact that after you treat your guests to this pollock, they will immediately start asking you for the recipe. Because the fish turns out so tasty and juicy that sometimes many people don’t believe that they ate pollock.
Ingredients:
- Pollock 1.5 kg.
- 1-2 carrots.
- 1 onion.
- 5 tablespoons of flour.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Vegetable oil.
Ingredients for the sauce:
- 7 tablespoons of sour cream.
- 200 milk.
- 1 tablespoon flour.
- 2 tablespoons butter.
- 1 pinch of grated nutmeg.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking process:
1. The recipe uses a pollock carcass, but if you have fillet, you can also make it from fillet.
2. Inspect the carcass and clean it if necessary. I especially ask you to pay attention to the abdomen. Sometimes there remains a black film in it that gives a bitter taste. So if it exists, it’s better to get rid of it.
3.We also get rid of scales and unnecessary fins. Afterwards, rinse well again and wipe with a paper towel.
4. Cut pollock into pieces.
5. Prepare a mixture of salt, pepper and spices. Rub the fish pieces with the mixture and leave for 15-20 minutes. During this time, salt and spices will penetrate into the very middle of the fish.
Good spices include basil, thyme, rosemary, and ground coriander.
6.When the fish is salted, it must be fried in vegetable oil.
7.Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it well. Dip a piece of fish in flour on all sides and place it in a frying pan, and so on with each piece.
8. At this stage, it is important for us to get a golden crust on the pieces of pollock.
Therefore, we do not heat it too much and do not hold the fish for long. Literally 2-3 minutes on each side. It is important that the juice remains in the fish. Therefore, we fry on each side, thereby sealing the juice inside each piece.
9.Place the fried pieces on a napkin so that the paper absorbs excess vegetable oil.
Now that the fish is fried, you can prepare the vegetables.
10. Peel the onions and carrots. Cut the onion into rings on the floor, and pass the carrots through a coarse grater.
11. Fry the vegetables a little. But not like when frying, but just a little until the onion is transparent.
This is done so that a little moisture remains in the onions and carrots, which they will share a little later with the fish. And so we throw the onions and carrots into the frying pan, fry until the onions are transparent and transfer them to a bowl from the frying pan to stop the heat effect.
12.After preparing the vegetables, you need to prepare the sauce in which we will bake the fish in the oven.
13.Heat the butter in a frying pan or saucepan and add flour to it.
Make sure that the flour does not change color. At this stage, it is important not to fry the flour, but to heat it.
14.As soon as the flour is mixed with butter, pour in the milk. Take a whisk and stir the sauce constantly. It is important to avoid lumps. Gradually the mixture will begin to thicken. Now it is important to ensure that neither the flour nor the milk burns.
15.A few minutes after heating the mixture will begin to thicken, add nutmeg.
16.Then add sour cream, a little salt and allspice. Mix everything again until smooth. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat under the frying pan.
17. We can say that all the preparatory steps are over, all that remains is to connect everything beautifully together.
18. Take a form in which we will bake pollock in the oven and grease it with butter. The shape is needed with high sides.
19.Place fried fish on the bottom.
21.After a layer of carrots.
22. Spread the sauce, distributing it evenly over all surfaces. It is important that the sauce completely covers the entire dish, thereby sealing all holes through which moisture can evaporate.
23.Put this beauty in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes at a temperature of 180-190 degrees.
24.Keep the pollock in the oven until golden brown. This crust will be a signal that the dish is completely ready.
25.Fish is best served with rice or beans. Mashed potatoes are also good.
The experiment with raw vegetables was a success, so you don’t have to fry the vegetables first.
