Sturgeon in a slow cooker with apples and cheese
To prepare this dish you only need a few ingredients:
- sturgeon - 1 carcass weighing about 1 kilogram,
- hard apples (“Semerenko”, “Glory to the Winner” varieties) - 1 kilogram,
- sour cream - 1 glass,
- grated hard cheese - ½ cup,
- salt and ground black pepper or a mixture of peppers - to taste.
- Anyone who has ever caught sturgeon knows that this fish is very slippery, because instead of scales it is covered with thick mucus. And the first priority when preparing to cook sturgeon dishes in a slow cooker or on a regular stove is to remove mucus. To do this, scald the carcass a little with boiling water: the mucus protein will coagulate and can be easily removed under running water. Then comes the turn of the sturgeon's spines, which run along the spine - they also need to be removed. After this, the procedure is, in principle, no different from processing any other fish: we chop off the head, tail and fins, gut the carcass, remove the skin and cut it into two halves along the ridge. We also remove the spine and take out the large bones. Then cut the sturgeon into portions and set aside.
- Cut the apples in half, remove the core and cut into small pieces. Place a layer of sturgeon pieces on the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper. On top is a layer of apples. Repeat layers until you run out. Sour cream will be placed on top of our sturgeon in the slow cooker - it needs to be poured over the top layer. Then place the bowl in the multicooker, select the “Stew” mode and set the timer for 20 minutes. For now, you can read the news on “Fishing Everyone!”
- After 20 minutes, open the lid of the multicooker and pour grated cheese on top of the sour cream. Close again and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. After this, sturgeon in apples is served piping hot!

Sturgeon in mustard-sour cream marinade
The fastest way to cook fish is to bake it. To make the finished dish tender, various marinades are often used in cooking. Sturgeon recipes in a slow cooker also cannot do without them. Let's take:
- sturgeon - 1 carcass of 1-1.5 kilograms,
- sour cream - 3 tablespoons,
- lemon - 1 piece,
- Russian mustard - 3 tablespoons,
- parsley - several branches,
- salt, pepper, spices - to taste.
Number of servings: 3;
Cooking time: 1 hour 20 minutes.
We prepare the sturgeon as in the previous recipe. Mix sour cream, mustard, salt, pepper, and spices in a bowl. Coat the pieces of fish with the resulting mixture. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon and pour it over the top of the fish. Then we take out the food foil, fold the sheet in half and place the sturgeon pieces on it. Cut the second part of the lemon into thin slices and place on top of the fish. Wrap the foil tightly, place it in the multicooker bowl and set it to “Stew” for 30 minutes. After this, open the lid and carefully open the foil so that a beautiful crust is baked on the surface of the fish. Return to the slow cooker for another 15 minutes. After this time, you can safely remove the fish from the bowl and place it on plates.
How to cook sturgeon in the oven in foil
Any dish begins with cutting the fish. The plates with spikes are removed from the surface of the sturgeon, after pouring boiling water over them in the places where they are most firmly attached - this is the upper part of the back. Growths from the abdominal part are easier to remove. Boiling water makes it much easier to remove mucus.
Take out the entrails and wash the bellies. The gills are cut out. The head can be cut off to cook a delicious fish soup or make aspic. A large sturgeon carcass is enough for several dishes.
If a small carcass fits completely on a baking sheet, and you plan to serve the whole fish on the table, leave the tails and heads. But they make cuts at the head and tail to pull out the vizig.
Before baking the fish, the following sacraments are performed:
- stuffings,
- coatings,
- wrapping in foil greased with butter or vegetable oil,
- baking.
The foil is spread on a baking sheet so that its smaller part occupies the entire area of the leaf. After the fish is placed, the rest of the foil is covered with the fish carcass, the edges of the foil are tucked in so that the “packaging” is airtight.
Bake the fish in an oven preheated to 180° for about 30 minutes. Then the top part of the foil is opened and the fish is allowed to simmer open for 10 minutes.
For variety, you can bake sturgeon in foil in the form of large portioned pieces, each of which is wrapped separately.
The fish is served to the table, transferred to a beautiful dish, garnishing the carcass with sauces, vegetables, and herbs. If portioned pieces of fish were baked in foil, they can be served in the same “dishes”: the edges of the foil are folded over to form elegant plates, on which a side dish, salad, and herbs are placed next to the pieces of fish.

Pilaf with fish and saffron
- Basmati rice 275 g
- Onions 4 heads
- Black peppercorns 1 tablespoon
- Bay leaf 1 piece
- Parsley 50 g
- Sturgeon fillet 400 g
- Sesame oil 4 tablespoons
- Carrots 3 pieces
- Dill 30 g
- Dill seeds 1 teaspoon
- Saffron pinch
- Sour cream 120 g
- Lemon 1 piece
- Salt to taste
1. Soak rice in a large bowl of water for 20 minutes. Soak the saffron in three tablespoons of warm water.
2. Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large saucepan, add the halved onion, crushed pepper, bay leaf and parsley stems. Salt well and immerse the fish fillet in the liquid. Simmer over very low heat until translucent in the middle, up to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. Transfer fish to a plate using a slotted spoon. Strain and reserve the broth. Do not wash the pan.
3. In a separate large saucepan, heat the sesame oil until almost smoking, add the onion and carrots, cut into strips. Fry until the vegetables begin to soften. Drain the rice and add to the vegetables, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon. Pour in enough fish broth to cover the rice with a layer 1 cm high, salt well. Bring to a boil and evaporate the water over high heat so that it is not visible on the surface. Make holes for steam to escape using the handle of a wooden spoon. Cover with a lid or foil and remove from heat. Leave to steam for 20 minutes until the rice is cooked.
4. Chop parsley leaves and dill, pour into the pan from the fish. Add dill seeds, black pepper, saffron along with the liquid, and salt. Stir in sour cream and heat over low heat. Carefully place the fish fillets into the sour cream and saffron sauce to warm through before serving.
5. Place the rice on a large dish and sprinkle with lemon juice. Place the fish on top and pour the sauce over it.
Methods for inserting filling
There are several possibilities for putting minced meat inside the fish:
- The filling is used to fill the abdominal cavity from which the entrails are removed. The edges of the abdomen are fastened or sewn up with thread. Sturgeon is baked by laying it on its side or standing vertically, belly down.
- A deep longitudinal incision is made along the back. Through this hole the entrails are removed. Fill the voids with filling. Place the fish on a baking sheet with its back facing up, ensuring stability. There is no need to seal the edges, the minced meat will not fall out.
- The sturgeon is spread out in the shape of a book. Cut off a thick layer of pulp. The remaining skin is stuffed with minced meat from twisted pulp with seasonings. The edges are secured with wooden sticks so that the filling does not fall out during baking. This stuffed sturgeon in the oven can be placed on its side or placed with its back up.
If the stuffed fish is placed on a piece of foil, you get a lot of benefits. The pan remains clean, all the fat from the fish flows onto the mat. You can use the foil to form rolls that will support the fish and prevent it from falling during baking. If you cover the top of the fish with foil, the flesh will be soft, juicy and tender. It is enough to bake the fish uncovered for the last 10 minutes, removing the covering, so that the carcass browns and looks more appetizing.
