Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 300–500 g pollock (fillet or whole)
- Salt, pepper, sweet paprika, and fish seasoning – to taste
- 2–3 cloves of garlic
- 1 bunch of green onions
- 50 g plain yogurt or sour cream
- 100 g heavy cream (20%)
- 100 g water
- Olive oil – for frying
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1–2 teaspoons of Dijon or whole grain mustard
Instructions
Крок 1.
Ретельно промийте минтай і промокніть його паперовим рушником. Натріть його сіллю, перцем, паприкою та вашою улюбленою рибною приправою. Збризніть невеликою кількістю оливкової олії та обережно втирайте спеції в рибу.
Step 2.
Heat a pan over medium heat. Fry the fish on both sides until it forms a beautiful golden crust. Remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Step 3.
In the same pan, melt the butter. Add finely chopped garlic and sliced green onions. Sauté for about 2 minutes, just until fragrant and soft.
Step 4.
Pour in the cream and water, then add the yogurt (or sour cream) and mustard. Mix everything thoroughly. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 2–3 minutes.
Step 5.
Return the fish to the pan. Spoon some of the sauce over the top, cover with a lid, and let it gently simmer for another few minutes. This allows the fish to soak in all the rich flavors of the sauce.
Serving
Serve the dish hot, ideally with mashed potatoes, bulgur, or simply a slice of fresh, crusty bread.
The sauce is so delicious, you’ll want to dip into it until the plate is clean. Bon appétit! 😋
