Pollock fillet in sour cream in the oven

Pollock fillet is the simplest version of a fish dish. The easiest way is to buy fillets in the store, but you can remove them from the carcass yourself. To do this, we get rid of the fish from the insides, head and fins, wash and dry with a towel. Then we make an incision along the spine and remove the fillet. Prying with a knife, we remove the skin. Pollock is a very convenient fish, there are practically no bones in it, except for the main ones, which do not fall into the fillet when cut. If several of them still remain in the pulp, we remove them with tweezers. If desired, the same recipe can be used in the preparation of any other fish, for example, hake or lemongrass.

Cut the finished fillet into large portions. We put it on the board so that the pieces do not touch each other. Sprinkle each of them with salt and ground black pepper to taste, we do not use additional seasonings, the sauce with dill will shade the taste here. Rub salt and pepper a little into the fish with your hands.

Turn on the oven at 180 degrees. The baking dish is lubricated with a small amount of vegetable oil. Spread the pollock fillets in one layer and prepare the sauce.

Pour sour cream into a deep dish, add freshly squeezed lemon juice. Dill is washed with running water, dried with a towel and finely chopped. We use only leaves, we remove rough stems. Finely chop the dill and add it to the sour cream sauce.

Garlic is cleaned, washed, dried and passed through the press. Add to the sour cream and mix the sauce well so that it becomes completely homogeneous.

Pour the sauce evenly over the fish in a baking dish. Bake the fillets in the oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. If desired, you can cover the top with foil, then the dish is guaranteed not to burn and the sauce will remain tender without forming a baked crust.

We serve the finished fish to the table immediately, hot. We complement it with a side dish of boiled rice, decorated with a leaf of fresh parsley. Instead of rice, you can just as well serve potatoes, pasta, baked or stewed vegetables.

Bon appetit!
