Who said that a quick meal can't be healthy and delicious?
Pollock, affordable and easy to prepare, can become the main character of your dinner. Its tender meat fills you up without extra calories, and the combination with basic spices reveals the natural taste of the fish.
This sea creature has long earned a place on the list of favorite products for the family menu.
It does not require complex manipulations, but always gives a feeling of satiety and lightness after a meal.
The recipe requires only four ingredients: a kilogram of fresh pollock, a teaspoon of salt, a pinch of ground pepper and 50 ml of vegetable oil.
It is important to choose fish with firm flesh and a bright sea aroma - this will guarantee the juiciness of the finished dish.
Preparation takes minimal effort. The fish is gutted, rinsed thoroughly under cold water and cut into medium-sized pieces. Large pieces will retain more moisture, and small ones will fry faster.
Each one is rubbed with a mixture of salt and pepper and then placed on an oiled baking sheet.
A few drops of oil are added on top to preserve the juiciness and create a crispy crust.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Put the pollock in there for exactly 20 minutes - this is enough for the edges to brown slightly and the middle to remain soft.
If you want a more golden surface, you can turn on the grill mode a couple of minutes before it is ready. The aroma filling the kitchen signals that it is ready.
It is best to serve the fish immediately, while it is still warm, adding herbs or a slice of lemon.
The simplicity of execution and the bright result make this recipe irreplaceable on weekdays and holidays. Even those who rarely cook will appreciate the harmony of taste and minimal time costs.
