Fish cutlets in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to bake fish cutlets in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use fish of the same variety, white or red, but I still advise you to cook from different varieties of fish. I used fresh trout fillet and frozen flounder fillet as a basis. You can use other combinations, for example, pink salmon and cod, etc .

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the fish fillet thoroughly, squeeze out excess moisture, remove small and large bones with tweezers, if there are any. If the fillet is frozen, then first defrost it and squeeze out excess water. Cut the fillet into small pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the prepared fish in the blender bowl and chop. Instead of a blender, you can chop the fish with an ordinary knife into small, small pieces.

4. Step 4:

   

   This is how the mixed minced meat turns out. Pale orange, homogeneous.

5. Step 5:

   

   Wash the parsley, dry it and chop it finely. In addition to parsley, you can take dill.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the minced fish in a bowl, add the egg, tomato paste, spices and chopped herbs. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth. If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt and pepper are already present in such mixtures. Keep this in mind, otherwise you risk over-salting and over-peppering the dish.

8. Step 7:

   

   If the minced meat turns out to be too liquid and does not hold its shape, pour 2-3 tablespoons of semolina or flour into it, mix and let stand for about 10 minutes so that the minced meat thickens.

9. Step 8:

   

   The finished minced meat should be tender, not flowing, and the cutlets from it should keep their shape and not spread out.

10. Step 9:

    

    Form medium-sized cutlets from the resulting minced meat with wet hands and, if desired, pan in breadcrumbs or semolina from all sides. Place the cutlets on a foil-lined baking sheet at a distance from each other. Put the cutlets in a preheated 180 ° C oven for 25-30 minutes. Determine the time and temperature by your oven.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the finished cutlets on a plate and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
