• To keep the cutlets in shape, dip them in the egg and then in the breading;

Juicy cutlets with lard

It would seem that nothing could be more banal than a recipe for pink salmon cutlets. But having lived in Kamchatka for more than 15 years, Victoria, the wife of a good friend, was able to surprise me. It was that evening, over a bottle of cognac, that I realized that the recipe for fish cutlets was not just onions, bread and fish, but something more. And if you get your hands on pink salmon, then rest assured that it’s not at all difficult to make delicious and very juicy cutlets, the main thing is to stick to the recipe.

So, let's begin…

Ingredients:

Pink salmon (any red fish) – 1 tail (2-3kg) fillet will yield 800-1200 grams

Large onion - 1 piece

Dill – 1 bunch

Eggs - 1-2 pcs.

Mayonnaise (sour cream) – to taste (50-100g)

Potatoes – 1 pc.

Lard – 30g

Salt, pepper - to taste

How to cook:

First of all, you need to prepare the fish. We wash it, then remove the head, tail, and fins. We gut the abdomen, be sure to wash out the strip of blood along the entire spine, from the belly side.

The carcass is ready. Now we need to separate the meat from the bones. The beauty of this recipe is that we don’t have to worry about the appearance of pink salmon, because... everything will be minced anyway. You can cut it however you like, but I recommend splitting the fish in half along the spine and then removing the meat from the skin, which will minimize the amount of bones left behind.

The resulting pieces should be felt for the presence of seeds, and if found, remove them.

Let's prepare the minced meat. For this:

- grate the potatoes

- finely chop the dill

— since we have pink salmon cutlets with lard, let’s prepare the lard. I usually use a pre-frozen piece and grate it. But this time the lard was left over from the pork knuckle purchased for soup, so I decided to just chop it finely.

- cut the onion

So, let's add the fillet

then chopped onion

grated potatoes

pieces of lard

break an egg

add 2 tablespoons of sour cream (mayonnaise), add salt and pepper to taste.

Turn on the blender and mix until a homogeneous mass is formed.

If the minced meat is too liquid, you can add a couple of tablespoons of flour.

Now all we have to do is make minced meat cutlets and fry them.

Lubricate your hands with oil, this is of course not necessary, but this way nothing will stick to them. You can simply wet your hands with water, which will also help with sculpting. We take some minced meat and form a cutlet, then put it in a frying pan.

The frying process is very simple. Grease a frying pan with oil, heat it up, lay out the cutlets, fry for about 7-10 minutes on each side. If you want to achieve a juicier result, then you should cover the frying pan with a lid, but if you like cutlets with a crispy crust, fry in an open frying pan.

When ready, remove the cutlets from the heat and place on a plate. If desired, you can decorate the dish with potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes (both fresh and salted vegetables are suitable), and fresh herbs.

Bon appetit.
