Blue Whiting Fishcake Recipe
You can make the same from any fish.
But this recipe (blue whiting was not chosen by chance) is extremely dietary. Not only because of the properties of the meat of this fish, but also because of the lack of a frying step. Let's make a delicious dinner without cholesterol and excess fat. In addition, it’s a very economical recipe: blue whiting is inexpensive, and besides it, cutlets only include available ingredients. Have to tinker with the separation of meat from the bones. After all, blue whiting fillet is usually not on sale - fish is sold only as a whole carcass. Take a kilogram of fish, one onion and carrot, an egg, white bread, a few spoons of sour cream, paprika and black pepper. Defrost blue whiting, rinse with cold water, cut off the head and fins. Remove the peel.
Using culinary scissors, remove the meat from the bones, separate from the ridge. Only fish fillet, which is used for cutlets, should remain. You don’t need to take care of removing it with a whole layer - after all, you still have to pass through a meat grinder. Also, a blender is suitable for chopping fillets. Before you scroll the fish, make sure once again that there are no bones. Soak the bread in water or milk, cut the onion, grate the carrots. These ingredients also need to be crushed in a blender or meat grinder. Break the egg into the resulting homogeneous mass, salt and pepper. The cutlets formed with wet hands can be breaded in breadcrumbs and lightly browned before being placed in the oven. But if you make sure that the dish is dietary, then skip this step and immediately put the items on a baking sheet. The top of each cutlet can be slightly greased with sour cream and sprinkled with paprika - this will not greatly increase the calorie content, but will make a beautiful crust. Bake cutlets for about a quarter of an hour.
