Pink salmon fried in flour with onions
Pink salmon rolled in flour can be made even juicier and tastier if you fry it with onions. The ingredients needed for this option are the same as for the classic method. Additionally, you will only have to take a couple of fairly large onions.
Cut the fish, marinate, and then roll in flour and place in a frying pan with hot oil. After the first turning, place the onion cut into half rings between the fish pieces. Cook the fish and onions until the onions become soft.
Features of the dish
Pieces of pink salmon fillet in batter after frying acquire a beautiful, tasty golden crust.
If you add soda or yeast to the dough, then the finished pieces will significantly increase in size, becoming more nutritious. In recipes, it is better to use boneless pink salmon (fillets with or without skin).
Since each cook adds something different to the classic batter, its composition can vary significantly. There are countless options:
- with beer;
- mayonnaise;
- cheese;
- onions;
- greens;
- starch;
- potatoes;
- sparkling water;
- soy sauce;
- white wine and so on.
The consistency of the dough should not only be liquid, but also have sufficient viscosity. You can check this in the following way: dip a metal spoon into the prepared mixture - if the dough covers it without gaps, then the texture is correct.
Important. Since the fish is wet, the dough will most likely drip off it, like from a wet spoon. Therefore, before dipping the pieces into the batter, they should be dusted with flour.
Depending on the layout of the dough recipe, the energy value of the dish may vary slightly. For example, it will be 156.5 kcal with the following ingredients:
- 500 g pink salmon;
- 50 g wheat flour;
- 40 g egg (1 pc.);
- 50 g pasteurized milk 3.2% fat;
- 50 g breadcrumbs.
Moreover, 100 g of fish in batter contains: 22 g of proteins, 8 g of fat, 9 g of carbohydrates and 58 g of water.
For this purpose, preliminary soaking of pink salmon in a marinade is used. It can be dry when the fillet is layered with onions with spices and liquid, for example, consisting of:
- lemon juice;
- water;
- vegetable oil.
- mayonnaise;
- mustard;
- white wine;
- seasoning
- garlic;
- beer; vegetable oil;
- spices
At this stage, you can improvise as you please.
