Step 1:

Want to make pan-fried fish cakes from smooth pollock with a sautéed vegetable base and a crisp breading, quickly and easily? Everyone loves them. First, gather all your ingredients and spices for these smooth homemade fish cakes.
Step 2:

For the sautéed vegetable base, heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a suitable skillet, then add 1 onion cut into quartered rings and 1 medium carrot grated on the fine holes of a grater.
Step 3:

Stir the vegetables together and cook over high heat.
Step 4:

Put 3 slices of white bread in a deep bowl, pour in 100 ml (about 1/3 cup) of room-temperature milk, and let the bread soak it up.
Step 5:

Add 1 clove of pressed garlic to the onions and carrots, stir, and cook for another minute, then turn off the heat and let the vegetable mixture cool.
Step 6:

Fit a meat grinder with a coarse plate and run 1 kilogram (about 2 1/4 pounds) of pollock fillet, the sautéed vegetables, and the milk-soaked bread through it into a large bowl. Season with salt to taste.
Step 7:

Add 50 grams (about 1/4 cup) of semolina and season to taste with a blend of ground black and red pepper.
Step 8:

Mix everything together well until you have a smooth fish mixture with the vegetables.
Step 9:

Set the mixture aside and let it rest for 20 minutes, stirring it twice during that time.
Step 10:

Take a portion of the mixture and flatten it into a round, then place a small piece of butter in the center.
Step 11:

Gather the round up around the butter and shape it into a cake, patting it firmly between your hands so it holds together and won't fall apart while frying.
Step 12:

Coat each cake in breadcrumbs mixed with the flour and set them on a plate.
Step 13:

Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet, add the cakes, and fry over medium heat until golden on the first side.
Step 14:

Flip the cakes, cover the skillet, and continue cooking over low heat for 10 minutes, until cooked through.
Step 15:

Arrange the finished fish cakes on a plate and serve. Cooking together, cooking simply, cooking the tastiest everyday meals right at home! Enjoy!
