Every week, a fish must be present in the human diet, as it is rich in phosphorus and a huge amount of trace elements that are so necessary for life and our body. But every time you cook fish soup or fry fish, it’s somehow trite, it’s best to cook fish cutlets. And you do not need to get your hands dirty at the table, and take out the bones!

The ideal fish for cooking fish cakes is pollock, hake, carp, pikeperch, cod or pike. Each hostess has her own “trump card” in the sleeve, and during the preparation process, she adds various ingredients to the minced fish so that the pike cutlets are juicy and fragrant. For example, such ingredients can be: cottage cheese, bread, lard, minced meat, mayonnaise, etc. But the classic ingredient is onion, which gives the patties both juiciness and a wonderful aroma, well, and if it is also fried in a small amount of vegetable oil, the patties will acquire a more saturated taste.

In our region, one of the available fish is pike, it is fleshy and therefore tasty and tender cutlets are obtained from it. Pike cutlets with fried onions   You can cook in the oven, in a slow cooker, fry in a skillet or steam. There are many options and everyone can choose for themselves a recipe suitable for him.

In order to cook pike cutlets with fried onions, you need to prepare the following ingredients:

  • Pike fillet - 1 kg,
  • White bread - 2 - 3 slices (about 150 grams),
  • Chicken eggs - 2 pieces,
  • Onions - 2 pieces (large),
  • Sugar - ½ teaspoon,

Pieces of white bread should be poured with a small amount of water and left to soak.

We clean onions and rinse in cold water. Then shred very finely. We heat the pan and pour one teaspoon of vegetable oil into it. Then we shift the onion into the heated oil and fry until beautiful golden color.

In the prepared pike mince, add soaked pieces of bread (from which all the liquid should be squeezed first), chicken eggs, salt and sugar. Mix everything and at the end add the onions fried in vegetable oil. Mix.

Then, from the prepared forcemeat, we form round fish cakes and fry them on both sides in a large fire of preheated vegetable oil (not until ready, but until golden brown).

Then we put the patties in a deep pan. On top we spread onions, chopped into a small cube, bay leaf and peppercorns. Pour warm water so that it almost completely covers the patties. Having covered the pan with a lid, put the cutlets on the slowest fire and simmer them for half an hour. While the cutlets are stewed, they absorb themselves most of the liquid, so that they will become even juicier.

Then put the pike cutlets on portioned plates and serve with mashed potatoes or boiled rice.

You can also add fresh vegetables to the minced fish for juiciness, in particular zucchini, which does not have a pronounced taste, but gives juiciness to the finished dish.

  Pike cutlets - A recipe for delicious fishcakes. How to cook pike cutlets? Recipes recommend mixing the flesh of this lean fish with butter or cooking pike cutlets with lard. To make the dish even more juicy, before making pike cutlets, grated potatoes are added to the minced meat.

Those who love fish cakes should make them from pike. They turn out fragrant, piquant and tender. The home cookbook should have a recipe for such a dish. Many people avoid this fish, believing that it is rather dry for minced meat, but in vain: with the right approach, these households will be delighted with such meatballs.

How to cut pike into cutlets

For some, cutting pike into cutlets may seem like an overly complicated process, but it’s not entirely true. To properly process the fish for minced meat, you only need a convenient wooden cutting board and a good sharp knife. Before cutting, the fish must be thawed, washed under cool running water, then dried a little so that it does not slip. Then stick to the algorithm:

  1. Cut off the ventral fin by grabbing a small portion of the skin.
  2. Notch the abdomen of the fish, remove the offal.
  3. Walk along the ridge with a knife to make it more convenient to divide it into two parts. One half of the carcass should easily separate without bones, in the second it will remain to remove the ridge. The bones of the pike are large, there is nothing complicated.
  4. Lay the carcass down with the bones, press lightly with your hand, carefully cut the ridge with a knife. Try not to cut the spine from the lateral bones. Ideally, if the ridge is cut off with them, otherwise you will have to remove it separately.
  5. Separate a thin skin of fish by picking it with a knife. Your fish is ready to process and cook.

Not always cutting can be perfect the first time. All chefs started with mistakes: don't be discouraged by failures. You need to fill your hand, and after 2-3 fish skills will be honed to automatism. Similarly, you can cut not only pike, but also another marine or river product. True, in some species there are a lot of small bones, so it will be possible to get the fillet with effort.

How to make minced pike for cutlets

After the processing of the carcass is finished, you can make fresh minced meat from pike for cutlets. To do this, cut the fillet into convenient medium-sized pieces. Pass them through a meat grinder with a nozzle for minced meat. To make it really tender, consider a few tips:

  1. The fish should be fresh: the ideal option is a chilled but not frozen carcass.
  2. Add spices and vegetables to the minced meat last.
  3. Let the minced meat brew a little.
  4. Add 1 egg to make the mixture more sticky.
  5. If the minced meat is watery, add a little flour or starch.

Looking for the best pike cutlet recipe? Keep in mind that even without knowing how to cook, you can always make excellent fish balls, which will quickly become a favorite dish of your household. If you don’t have all the necessary ingredients at hand, you can always replace them, because almost any vegetables, meat and even hard cheeses are suitable for such a dish.

Pike cutlets delicious step by step photo recipe

Pike cutlets can be called a delicious dish, special in taste. And not everyone knows how to cook them correctly.

It's all about some tricks, thanks to which cutlets will be tender and juicy. One of these tricks is to cook fish pike cutlets with bacon. It is the lard that gives the meatballs juiciness and prevents them from overdrying during frying.

The most difficult part in making pike cutlets is cutting fish. The pike has slippery skin, small strong scales and meat sits tightly on the bones, so if you can buy a good non-frozen fillet, it is better to filet. If you still have a whole fresh carcass, you will have to separate the fillet yourself.

Ingredients:

  • for 3 servings:
  • pike 300 g (or 200 g fillet);
  • 1 onion;
  • 50 g of fat;
  • 2 pieces of dry loaf;
  • 3 tbsp. l breadcrumbs;
  • salt, pepper, milk.

  Step by step recipe and photo:

It is better to remove scales from a pike with a special scraper - it is inexpensive, but it will make life much easier if you often have to deal with river fish. To prevent the pike from sliding on the board, stick a knife or fork into the tail part and hold it with your left hand.

After removing the scales, scrub the insides and make incisions along the ridge. Then, along these incisions, separate the skin and fillet from the ridge. The bones of the ribs can not be removed, they are crushed in a meat grinder and will not be felt.

Peel the onion, cut off the skin with pieces of fat. Soak the dry loaf in milk.

Pass onion, fish fillet and lard together through a meat grinder or grind it into minced meat using a combine harvester.

Squeeze the loaf a little from the milk and mash. Mix it with the rest of the minced meat, pepper and salt.

Form small cutlets, squeeze them a little so that they are not thick, and roll in breadcrumbs.

Fry pike cutlets according to the recipe over moderate heat in a preheated oil pan. Cover the frying pan while frying the cutlets.

Also fry the patties well on the other side.

Pike cutlets are very tasty, ready to eat. It is best to serve them mashed potatoes. Bon Appetit!
