Pan-Braised Pollock with Onion, Carrot, and Tomato

Pollock braised with onion, carrot, and tomato paste. Today we're making pollock braised with onion, carrot, and tomato paste — another easy pollock dish. Pollock has a lot going for it, which is why it's a regular on so many tables: it's a low-bone fish with mild, pleasant white flesh, no strong smell (unlike a lot of sea fish), and it's inexpensive. It's a joy to cook! This recipe gives you a full meal in one — fish already in its vegetable sauce. Add any side and dinner's on the table.
