Fried fish cannot be called very healthy food. This, of course, is a delicious dish, but for those who are a fan of proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, it is not suitable. But, knowing how to fry fish properly, you can cook a delicious and beautiful dish.
In order for the fish to fry evenly, it is necessary to cut it into pieces of the same size, with a thickness of not more than three centimeters. If it is small, then you can fry it whole. Before frying fish, you need to remove the scales and entrails. It is not necessary to remove the skin if the formulation does not require it.
For frying, use butter or margarine, but vegetable oil is traditional. Fat should be a little. But you can fry pieces of fish and deep-fried.
The fish or its pieces must first be crushed in breadcrumbs or flour. If desired, before frying the fish, you can sprinkle it with seasoning, pepper and salt.
The fat in the pan should be so much that the pieces are only half covered. Frying it on one side, you need to turn it on the other side.
Before frying fish in a pan, you need to carefully approach the choice of dishes. It is better to take a cast-iron frying pan, which has the property of heating equally over the entire surface.
Add fat to a preheated skillet, and then put the fish. Then fry on both sides until a beautiful golden brown crust appears.
After a short course on the proper preparation of fish, you can go to the recipes.
Fried fish can be served with various sauces. This will give the dish a new flavor. Here's how to cook fish in pomegranate sauce. We take 700-800 grams of any fish. Separate the fillet from the bones and fry on both sides, pre-sprinkled with spices and roll in flour. Put the fish in a pan. Now you need to peel one or more heads of onions and cut it into half rings. Then fry it in oil (vegetable or olive) and spread on top of the fish.
Fold 70 grams of prepared walnuts into a mortar. Add to them salt, 2-3 cloves of garlic, half a pod of hot pepper and everything is very well crushed. Then put this mixture in a saucepan and add one bay leaf and 20-30 grams of tomato paste to it. Pour some water so that the mixture is not dry. We put the stewpan on the fire and let the sauce boil for about 5-7 minutes. Next, add 50-70 ml of pomegranate juice. Pour the fish with the prepared sauce and leave it on fire for another 1-2 minutes. Then remove the fried fish from the fire and remove the bay leaf. You can serve fish with a side dish, such as rice and vegetables.
