How to serve a dish
Tender pollock fillet baked in sour cream sauce should be served immediately with a portion of mashed potatoes and stewed or fresh vegetables.
Pollock fillet in the oven with sour cream
Before making pollock in the oven with sour cream, clean the fish, wash it, and separate the fillets. It is more convenient to cook pollock fillet with sour cream in the oven. I bought one large fish and received 400 grams of fillet. Cut each fillet into 4-5 pieces. Leave the skin on the fish so that the pieces do not fall apart during cooking.
Place the fillet pieces in a bowl, sprinkle with your favorite fish seasoning and salt. My seasoning already contains salt, so I didn’t add it additionally. Let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes.
Before stewing pollock in sour cream in the oven, it is advisable to lightly fry the fish. When the fish has absorbed the aromas of the seasoning and salt, heat a frying pan with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on the stove. Fry the fish pieces first on one side, the one with the skin. Fry for about 2 minutes over medium heat.
Fry on the other side. By the way, here lies one of the main mistakes of the recipes I tried. Everywhere they offer to pre-dip the fish in flour. But! Dredging in flour is good if frying is the final stage of cooking, but if you are planning fish with sauce, the difficult-to-control amount of flour that the fish will take on during dredging will give an unpredictable result in terms of the thickness of the sauce.
These are the beautiful and neat pieces that came out without any need for dredging in flour. In addition, fish without flour absorbed much less oil. Place the fried pieces in a baking dish of suitable size. Place the pieces skin side up.
Prepare all ingredients for sour cream sauce. We will need sour cream, flour, salt, chicken egg yolk and cold tap water. The yolk is an optional component, but desirable :).
In a saucepan or saucepan with a thick bottom, place two generously heaped tablespoons of sour cream, add the yolk and sifted flour. The flour and yolk will help stabilize the sauce so it won't cut off.
Mix thoroughly with a whisk until smooth.
Add water and mix thoroughly again. The sauce may seem too thin to you, but that's how it should be.
And another secret. Although we will make pollock fillet baked in the oven with sour cream, we first prepare the sauce separately. Place the pan over medium heat and, stirring constantly with a whisk, bring to a boil and cook for several minutes. The sauce will thicken and become stable on the stove. If you simply pour sour cream on the fish and put it in the oven, you will end up with unappetizing white flakes, and this cannot be corrected.
Pour the prepared sauce over the pollock.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Then take it out and sprinkle the pollock with sour cream sauce in the oven with fresh dill.
Pollock fillet in sour cream sauce in the oven is ready. And we managed to cook delicious pollock in the oven with sour cream.
Pollock baked in sour cream is best eaten hot, with a side dish of boiled potatoes or rice. Bon appetit!
Step-by-step preparation
- First of all, you need to cut up the pollock. We take the fin next to the head and, holding it at an angle, trim it like any other fish. Pollock has a small belly and a long fin on its belly. Therefore, we make an incision above the fin. Turn it over, make a cut above the head, holding the fin, and cut off the head. We don't need the head in the future. We cut the fish through a hole along the ridge above the fin. Carefully cut to the tail. We throw the knife over the ridge and cut further. We expose the bone of the ridge and slowly cut through it. To make it more convenient, place the fish on its stomach with the ridge up, spreading the two parts of the peritoneum in different directions. We turn over the top of the fillet that we removed from the ridge, and straight through the bones, using a scraping motion, remove the fillet from the ribs. Place the fish again on its side, cleaned bones down.
To make it easier, we start making the cut not from the tail, but from the fin.Carefully cut above the fin. We throw the knife over the ridge and pierce it with a movement from the center to the tail. Similarly, remove the remaining fillet from the backbone and ribs. Then we take out the bones from the cut fillet. Using pliers, carefully pull out the bones towards the head. This is painstaking work, but you can’t do without it. To remove the skin, place the fish skin-side down on the table (the fillet should be on top). The knife must be very sharp and wide enough. We clamp the tip of the fish's tail with round pliers, insert the knife under the fillet at a slight angle (almost horizontally) and carefully slide it straight across the table. Next, we grab the skin of the fish with our hand and continue to remove the skin towards the head. Finally, rinse the fillet under running water and dry it.
- Peel and wash onions (2 pcs.) and carrots (3 pcs.). Cut the onion into half rings. Grate the carrots on a medium grater.
- Let's prepare the fish dressing. To do this, take 250-300 g of sour cream and put it in a bowl.
- Add grated carrots and 1 tsp to sour cream. salt.
- Then add freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Mix well.
- Set to preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- Take a baking sheet and place the onion in it, distributing it evenly along the bottom.
- We place the fillet on the onion, and on top we make a “cap” of the carrot-sour cream mixture so that it completely covers our fish. Distribute it evenly.
- Place the baking sheet with the fish in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- In the meantime, let's prepare the serving. Wash two cucumbers, ten cherry tomatoes and a small bunch of dill and let the water drain. Cut the cucumbers into thick slices. Cut the tomatoes in half. Finely chop the dill. Mix all this in a bowl, salt to taste and add a small amount of sunflower oil (about 0.5 tbsp). Place the salad on serving plates. Remove the fish from the oven. Cut it into portions and place it on plates next to the salad.

Pollock stewed in sour cream and wine
A variation of a sophisticated pollock dish. Ideally, white wine is used as it pairs best with sea fish. But if it is not there, then you can use a different type of wine.
Ingredients:
- 2 pollock;
- 4 tablespoons flour;
- 1 onion;
- 150 grams of sour cream;
- salt pepper;
- oil;
- 100 ml wine;
- 1 spoon of browned flour.
Preparation:
- Cut the washed and prepared fish into pieces and bread them in flour.
- Fry on both sides in oil.
- As soon as you turn the pollock over to the other side and fry for a minute, add the onion, cut into half rings. You can move the fish to the side with a spatula and fry vegetables in the freed area.
- As soon as the onion becomes transparent and begins to fry, pour the wine into the pan, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Mix sour cream with fried flour. To prepare the sauté, simply pour a spoonful of the product into a (dry) frying pan and fry until creamy.
- Add 50 ml of water, salt, pepper to the sauce and send it to the frying pan with the fish and wine.
- Cover and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Ready! All that remains is to sprinkle the dish with herbs. It’s best served with fresh cucumbers and radishes.
