Step cooking
Marinating fish
- We take 600 g of pink salmon, with a knife to clean the fish we clean it of scales, then with a cutting knife we cut off the head and tail, cut the fins, carefully remove the insides and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Cut the prepared carcass into slices in the form of steaks about 1.5 cm thick.
- In a deep container we fall asleep 1 tsp. salt without a hill, ¼ tsp. dry ginger, ¼ tsp. ground black pepper, ½ tsp. dry basil, 1/3 tsp sweet paprika. Pour into the dry ingredients 1.5 tsp. soy sauce and 1 tbsp. l sunflower oil, then break into a container 1 chicken egg, add 1.5 tbsp. l semolina, 3 tsp potato starch, ½ tsp. lemon juice and ½ tsp. mustard. After adding all the ingredients, carefully stir everything with a teaspoon until a homogeneous liquid marinade is obtained.
- Dip each piece of fish on all sides in the marinade and place them in a deep bowl, pour the remaining marinade on top, cover with a lid and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
Frying fish
- When 20 minutes have passed, put the pan on medium heat and heat it well. You can fry pink salmon in a dry frying pan without oil, but we still add 1 tbsp. l sunflower oil, evenly spreading it on the bottom.
- Put slices of pickled fish in a preheated pan, cover with a lid and fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes until a beautiful golden color, then turn the pink salmon steaks with a spatula and fry under the lid on the other side to the same beautiful color.
- Remove the finished fish from the pan with a spatula, put it on the dinner plate to the side dish and serve.
Important! The pink salmon meat itself is very tender, so you should not keep the fish in the marinade for more than 2 hours, otherwise, during the process of frying, the fillet will fall apart into pieces, and this will ruin your dish. Loose rice or oven-baked potatoes are suitable as a side dish for this fish.
