Lenten Pink Salmon Cutlets
Wildly appetizing—and an affordable recipe for something a little special! Cutlets are always a good bet, believe me. You won't be embarrassed to serve them at a holiday dinner, and they're just as good for an everyday lunch. It's handy to fry up a batch and stash them in the freezer for a few days—say, if you're heading out and leaving your husband home with the kids; he can at least manage to reheat them. I think of cutlets as an all-purpose food. There are countless cutlet recipes, but I'm especially drawn to fish cutlets—they're lighter on the stomach and have a slightly out-of-the-ordinary flavor. Best of all, you can make them during a fast, which matters to me. I make these Lenten pink salmon cutlets for New Year's, which falls during the Nativity Fast, and when I'm cooking for everyone I don't want to leave myself out.
- I soak the mushrooms for two hours, and meanwhile I cut the pink salmon along the backbone and remove the skin and bones. It's best to chop the fillet finely with a knife rather than use a meat grinder—I find the mixture comes out juicier that way. I boil the mushrooms in salted water and run them through the grinder together with the onion. I combine that with the fish, add a little white bread soaked in water, and season with salt and pepper. If I have fresh herbs on hand, I add those too. I coat the shaped cutlets in flour or breadcrumbs and fry them. For a side, I serve boiled rice with a mushroom sauce made from the leftover mushroom broth, simply thickened with a little flour.
