Step 1:
How to make minced fish in the oven? The fish must be thawed beforehand. I even had to squeeze out the excess moisture slightly. For this dish, I chose cod in the form of fillet. But, despite this, there were still bones of different caliber in the pieces of fish. It is necessary to get rid of them.
Step 2:
Cut the fish into thin strips and then into small cubes. This is necessary for absolute certainty that the fillet has become absolutely boneless.
Step 3:
Pass the cod through a meat grinder. I suggest doing this two times. First, use a nozzle with large holes. And the second time - with the smallest. The stuffing will eventually turn out light and airy.
Step 4:
Pour the cream into the bowl with the fish. They can be either warm or fresh from the refrigerator. It doesn't matter. Peel the washed raw carrots and grate them on a fine grater. Add the carrots to the minced meat. Beat in one egg. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5:
Grease the baking dish with a small amount of sunflower oil. And evenly distribute the minced fish in the form. I advise you not to level the minced meat to an ideal state. Let there be a slight negligence. Then, during heat treatment, the casserole will be beautifully browned. Bake the minced fish for 30 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.

I prefer to make minced meat on my own. This applies to minced meat, fish, and minced poultry.
I now remove the bones from the fish with a special culinary tweezers. And earlier, before buying it, I had a regular cosmetic tweezers specially reserved for this purpose. It just took a little more time to work with such tweezers.
And if you absolutely do not have time to prepare homemade minced meat, then you can use the purchased one.
The casserole was a success. Delicate "souffle" consistency. The fish turned out to be not dry at all. And the carrots were not felt in the dish. Served with mashed potatoes and a salad of fresh vegetables. Everyone was satisfied.
In fact, any fish from the cod breed is suitable for such a casserole.
And next time I want to try to make such a casserole with minced red fish. And, perhaps, I will add more potato slices and onion rings under the stuffing, so that two in one: both the side dish and the second.
Bon appetit!

How to properly cut a whole fish into fillets? Remove the tail, head and fins. Cut the carcass along the spine to the spine. Turn it on its side. With a sharp knife, cut the meat from the backbone bone. Turn the carcass over and cut the fillet from the other side. Clean the inside by removing the black film, as it is bitter and will spoil the taste. Rinse and be sure to dry well.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
