Mullet baked with vegetables

Section: Baked fish

Kitchen:

Russian

Servings: 4-5

Cooking time: 45 min

Another simple recipe that you can use to prepare a fish dish for dinner or lunch. Tender fish with vegetables - everything is very appetizing and tasty.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg mullet (gutted)
• 500-600 g potatoes
• 1-2 carrots
• 1 large onion
• half a lemon
• salt, pepper, fish seasoning if desired
• several stems of parsley, dill
• 2-3 tbsp. spoons of soy sauce

Cooking method

1. We remove the mullet carcass from the insides and scales, wash and dry it inside and out using paper towels. At this time, boil the peeled potato slices for literally 3-4 minutes.

1. We make cuts down to the bone. We cut off the tail and head because the carcass does not fit into the mold. Rub the fish with soy sauce, seasonings, and greens into the belly. We hide it in a bag and leave it for several hours - or cook it right away (but then we’ll cook the potatoes later).

1. Place the chopped onions and carrots on the bottom of the baking sheet, on top - the fish with lemon slices inserted into the slits. On the sides are potatoes, which are also seasoned with pepper and salt. Lubricate the fish and potatoes with vegetable oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the oven at 190-200°.

During preparation, we can additionally sprinkle the mullet with lemon juice.

In a frying pan

To make mullet fried in a frying pan especially tasty, you need to take as many spices as possible.

For example, mix dry parsley, dill, ground black pepper, thyme and rosemary. In addition to them, you will need to use: 1 kg. fish, 2 pcs. onions, salt, 150 g wheat flour, oil for frying.

1. Fish carcasses are thoroughly cleaned and washed with cold water, after which they are rubbed with salt and a mixture of seasonings.
2. Each mullet is thoroughly coated on all sides in flour and placed in a frying pan with heated oil.
3. The onion is cut into thin rings.
4. After the fish is fried on one side, it is carefully turned over, covered with onion slices and cooked under the lid until the mullet is golden brown and the vegetable is translucent.

This dish should be served separately with sauce. For example, tartar or any other mayonnaise-based with the addition of lemon juice.

Baked in the oven in foil

• You can also cook mullet in the oven in foil. This recipe also makes the fish especially juicy and soft. For it you need to take: 2 large mullet carcasses, 10 pcs. potatoes, 1 lemon, 2 tomatoes, salt, vegetable oil, any spices for fish.
• The fish is cleaned of its entrails, after which the heads are cut off from the carcasses and thoroughly washed with cold water. It is very important to make cuts over the entire surface of the mullet.
• Each fish is thoroughly rubbed with spices and salt on all sides. Slices of lemon and tomatoes are placed into the cut belly.
• The carcasses will be wrapped in separate sheets of foil, greased with vegetable oil. Each of them needs to be placed on a prepared sheet, covered with potato slices, lightly sprinkled with salt, and then carefully packaged so that the fish juice does not leak out.
• Cook the dish in a very hot oven for about 35 minutes until the potatoes are soft.

There is no need to come up with a separate side dish for mullet baked in this way. They will be potato slices.

Dried mullet

Dried Black Sea mullet turns out very tasty and fatty. It is served with cold beer or boiled new potatoes. You can easily prepare this fish at home. To do this, you need to take 500 g of mullet and coarse salt. You won't need to use any more ingredients.

1. The carcasses are thoroughly washed with running cold water and cleaned of entrails. There is no need to cut off the heads. Then the fish is dried with a paper towel and placed in a deep bowl.
2. The mullet is generously sprinkled with coarse salt so that the latter covers the carcasses on all sides. Salting will take from 8 to 12 hours. The exact period depends on the size of the fish.
3. After the specified time has passed, the mullet is placed on the grill under pressure. This is necessary to remove juice from the carcasses. The whole process will take 10-12 hours.
4. As soon as the carcasses begin to dry out slightly, they can be strung on a wire through the eye and dried in a warm, well-ventilated room.

In an apartment, it is best to hang fish on a closed, insulated balcony. If you leave it in the room, the strong specific smell of the product will probably bother your family.
