Pollock is an inexpensive fish available to everyone. Therefore, it is not surprising that housewives often buy it. There is a widespread opinion among the people that pollock fillet is dry and tasteless, so it is better not to cook it in the oven. In fact, properly and deliciously cooked fillet of this cod fish will never be dry and tasteless. How to properly cook this product in the oven, how to make diet meals out of it, we will tell you in this article.

Preparation of ingredients

To prepare dishes from pollock fillets, you need to buy or cut fillets. In stores, you can usually find frozen pollock fillets without any problems. This semi-finished product is in great demand. You can also use a whole carcass of fish, from which fillets are prepared at home. The product is ideal for dietary and baby food due to the fact that the calorie content is low and the vitamin and mineral composition is well balanced.

Pollock fillet does not belong to delicacies, it is a product that is great for everyday cooking, but a properly and beautifully prepared dish of pollock fillets will be a real decoration of the festive table.

The specificity of the product lies in the fact that the fillet is almost devoid of bones, but it is not considered juicy either. Pollock does not have its own rich fishy taste, but it is this property that can be advantageously used, giving a dish one or another taste due to sauces and additives. Fillet preparation is very simple and does not require much effort from the hostess.

When choosing fillets in frozen semi-finished form, pay attention to the color and amount of ice. The ice “glaze” should not be too thick, and the fillet should be light, without spots. The pollock carcass must be intact, without dents and unpleasant odors.

Before you start preparing a culinary masterpiece from this simple product, you should get a frozen fillet or carcass from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator for several hours.

Do not defrost fish by immersing it in warm water or using the defrosting function in the microwave. With aggressive rapid defrosting, fish fibers are dehydrated even more, they are torn by ice crystals from the inside and the fillet becomes heterogeneous, can crumble and delaminate.

After a while, the fillets are placed on the kitchen table and defrost is continued at normal room temperature.

If you are the proud owner of a whole carcass, you will need one more step - fillet cutting. This requires tweezers, a very sharp knife, and a cutting board. The sequence of actions will be as follows:

1. rid the carcass of the scales;
2. cut off the fins and tail;
3. take the carcass by the tail and, holding it vertically, start moving with a sharp knife in the direction of the growth of the fins from the tail to the ribs;
4. remove the bone fillet from the two halves with tweezers;
5. the skin for cooking pollock in the oven does not need to be removed.

After the fillets are thawed, cut and washed, place a clean paper towel on top of the fillet for a few minutes to absorb excess water.

To get rid of the unpleasant fishy smell while cooking, lightly sprinkle the fillet and knife with a couple of drops of lemon juice.

After the fillet is ready, start preparing the rest of the ingredients that are required according to one or another recipe, but remember that if this also takes a long time, then it is best to prepare them at the moment when the fish is thawed. The fillet should not lie in the open air for too long - it will “wind up”.

Selection and preparation of pollock fish for cooking

Of course, it is better to buy products for such dishes in specialized (fish) stores. This will ensure that they are stored in proper conditions before being sold. You need to make sure that the flow of buyers at the point of sale is constant.

In this case, you will not get the stale goods. The layer of ice should not be too thick, otherwise you will not pay for the fish, but for the water.

But its complete absence is also bad - without it, the product dries up. The color should be white, if the meat is yellow or red, then the pollock is already very old.

After bringing the fish home, place it in a deep glass bowl to defrost. Rinse under running water, cut off the fins and tail with fish scissors. Cut the abdomen and clean out all the insides with a knife, remove the scales from above, if any.

Ready-to-cook (gutted and peeled) pollock is also available on the market. It only needs to be thawed and rinsed.
