Pollock fillet on a grill pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to grill pollock? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for cooking pollock fillets in a grill pan. Of course, you can buy a ready-made fillet in the store, but with it you also buy a significant part of frozen water. In addition, after thawing, the fillet can be composed of several pieces instead of one full-fledged one.

2. Step 2:

   

   In defrosted pollock, cut off all the fins with kitchen scissors, cut the abdomen and remove the insides and necessarily the black film. If there are green stains on the surface of the meat, cut it off without regret. It was the gallbladder that burst, and the meat became bitter. It will not be possible to wash it. Dry the pollock and insert the knife under the bone. With your left hand (if you are right-handed), press the fish, and with a knife in your right hand, cut off the bottom fillet, pressing the blade to the bone.

3. Step 3:

   

   Then flip the pollock and cut the bottom fillet by inserting the knife under the bone and pressing it against it. Be careful, don't cut yourself.

4. Step 4:

   

   Make a fillet of the second fish. Cut the rib bones.

5. Step 5:

   

   Spread the fillets on the board in one layer, salt and pepper (if desired) the fish on both sides.

7. Step 6:

   

   Peel the garlic and cut it in half lengthwise. Pour vegetable oil into the grill pan and heat over medium heat. Put the chopped garlic and thyme sprigs in it. Thyme can be taken not only fresh, but also dried. Fry for 2 minutes to flavor the oil.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour flour into a plate and pan the pollock fillets on both sides. You can take absolutely any flour, as long as it is of good quality.

9. Step 8:

   

   Slide the fried garlic and thyme sprigs onto the edges of the pan. Spread the pan-fried fillet on the grill pan with the skin down. Fry the fillets, without pressing, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Do not fry for a very long time, pollock may become dry.

10. Step 9:

    

    Turn the fillets to the other side and fry until tender. If you want a clear pattern, press the fillet with a spatula while frying. It doesn't matter to us, so I didn't really push it. After the fish is fried, transfer to plates and serve immediately.
