Fish with side dish

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for fried fish with a side dish. Fish can be used for frying any, someone likes river, someone sea. One of the popular varieties of fish suitable for frying is pollock. There are very few bones in it and a minimum of smell during frying, which simplifies and speeds up the cooking process itself.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the fish, clean it, if the pollock is with the head, remove the head. We cut the carcass into portions, without removing the bones. Pieces of pollock are washed again, dried with paper towels.

3. Step 3:

   

   We pour wheat flour or breadcrumbs into a plate and roll the fish into them from all sides. After frying, the pieces of fish will have a crispy brown crust. To make the pieces of fish turn out in a juicy and soft batter, you can beat a chicken egg and dip the fish first in the egg, and then roll in flour. Pour vegetable oil into the pan. Turn on the fire. When the oil is well warmed up, we spread the pieces of fish on it.

4. Step 4:

   

   Immediately salt and pepper the fish in a frying pan. Fry the pollock pieces on high heat for 5 minutes on one side, until browned, then turn over and fry on the second side. Reduce the fire to medium. Pour a little water into the pan so that the fish does not burn. Cover the pan with a lid and keep the fish on the fire for about 20 minutes. Then we remove the lid. Keep the fish on fire for a few minutes. Turn off the fire.

6. Step 5:

   

   While the fish is frying, you can prepare a side dish in parallel. As a side dish to fried fish, pasta, rice and mashed potatoes are great. The fastest can be called pasta, literally, 10 minutes and the side dish for the fish is ready. Pour cold clean water into a saucepan. Add a pinch of salt. We put the pan on the fire. When the water boils, we lower pasta of any variety and type to taste into the water, for example, spaghetti, horns, shells, spirals and others.

7. Step 6:

   

   Mix immediately so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and cook the pasta over medium heat for about 7-10 minutes, depending on the variety (durum wheat or not) and the time indicated by the manufacturer on the package. Drain the water, throw the pasta into a colander, rinse with cold water and return them back to the pan. Add a piece of butter and salt to taste.

8. Step 7:

   

   We serve fish with pasta to the table. Bon appetit!
