Pollock is famous for its dietary meat, in which there are almost no bones. However, many housewives are scared by the specific smell and some nuances of cooking. Due to the dryness, it is poorly suited for frying, but the pollock baked in the oven in foil takes on an amazing taste!

Pollock in the oven in foil with dill and lemon

Cooking pollock fish with lemon is very simple. For this dish you need a minimum of ingredients:

  • a pound of pollock;
  • a quarter packet of butter;
  • 1 ripe lemon;
  • fresh dill;
  • salt;
  • ground black pepper and other seasonings suitable for fish dishes (for example, Provence herbs).

 

The cooking process is extremely simple:

  1. Pollock cleanse from viscera and skin. Cut each carcass along the ridge so that two pieces of meat without bones are obtained. Then rinse with cold water and dry thoroughly with napkins.
  2. Each chunk is baked separately on a large piece of foil. Spread it on the table, put the pollock fillet on one half.
  3. Sprinkle the fish with seasonings, put a few thin plates of butter on top.
  4. Pour boiling water over the lemon to make the peel soft, and cut it into rings no more than 0.5 cm thick.
  5. Fragrant fruit slices lay on top of the fillet, and then tightly pack the "envelope" using the free half of the foil. Now all that remains is to bake the fish.

An important point: the pollock fillet in the oven is cooked quickly enough, usually 20 minutes is enough. Only in exceptional cases can the baking time be extended to half an hour or more.

Before serving, sprinkle the dish with finely chopped dill. A stunning aroma and amazing tenderness of the finished dish will conquer even those gourmets who previously considered pollock a tasteless fish.

In sour cream sauce

Sour cream is considered one of the best additives to pollock dishes. It preserves the juiciness of the fish, preventing it from drying out in the oven, and perfectly emphasizes its delicate taste. Of course, just pouring pollock with this dairy product is not enough. A lot depends on the correct preparation of the dressing: it should be moderately salty, and most importantly - not too thick. Otherwise, it will not be able to soak the fish, and it will turn out to be rather dry.

 

To cook the pollock fillet in the oven with sour cream sauce, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 150-200 grams of onions (2-3 medium-sized onions);
  • 400 grams of pollock;
  • 125 grams of thick sour cream;
  • as much milk;
  • 2 eggs;
  • a little flour (it will be needed to roll the fish pieces before frying);
  • vegetable oil;
  • also salt and spices, such as black pepper or seasoning for fish.

Thaw the frozen carcass first and clean it, and if you buy the fillet, you can immediately start cooking:

  1. First of all, it is necessary to sprinkle the prepared pieces with salt and seasonings and leave it for 15-20 minutes.
  2. While pollock is pickled, you can do the onion: peel and chop it in half rings.
  3. Pour a little flour into a shallow plate. Thoroughly roll each piece of fish in it and send to a well-heated pan with pre-poured vegetable oil. Fry pollock on high heat so that the meat does not have time to let the juice go.
  4. As soon as the pieces are covered with a golden crust, carefully shift them into a deep baking dish. And in the pan immediately spread the prepared onion and pass it until half cooked over medium heat. Please note: it is better not to change the oil so that the finished fish dish has a richer taste.
  5. It takes about 10 minutes for the onion to stew to the desired degree of readiness. During this time, you will have time to cook sour cream sauce. First beat the eggs in a deep bowl and beat them thoroughly with salt. Add sour cream, mix again and, warming the milk to room temperature, carefully pour it into the eggs. After this, beat the mixture again. Do not forget to pepper a little sauce! It should have a rich, slightly spicy taste. Before dressing the dish, it can be brought to a boil, stirring continuously: this will make the consistency thicker and avoid sloppy lumps in the finished dish.
  6. Put the fried onion into pieces of pollock, and top it all with egg-sour cream mixture. Then tightly wrap the baking sheet with foil and send to the oven for half an hour.

Fragrant fish dish is ready! Before serving, it can be decorated with finely chopped greens.
