I always cook fish cutlets from herring and mackerel fillets, they are just perfect
They can be prepared from almost any fish - cod, pink salmon, mackerel, halibut, herring. They are suitable as a dietary dish; they can be given to children from 2 years old, elderly people and old people. I love mixed minced meat. So, two fatty fish - herring and mackerel - go very well together. The cutlets are tender, soft, and very tasty. By the way, this minced meat can also be used for fish pies, but today we will prepare cutlets. Two fish will yield approximately 6-8 cutlets.
Both fish are quite fatty, they need to be filleted. I prefer to make fillets myself rather than buy ready-made ones, because store-bought ones contain a fairly large percentage of water. True, it will take a little longer to tinker.
We do fillets like this: we cut off the head with fins, remove the entrails, and wash the carcasses properly. If the fish contains milk or caviar, then they can also be used. We cut the carcass lengthwise along the back, removing the backbone with all the bones. If possible, we choose small seeds, but if there are a few left, it’s okay - everything will be crushed.
Well, some kind of liquid for soaking bread - milk or warm water. I made an egg-milk mixture and placed dried slices of bread in it. 3-4 slices for two fish is enough. Usually there is no liquid left - the bread absorbs everything. But it is better to squeeze out the excess liquid.
Now we need to prepare the minced meat. If you have a food processor or blender, then this process is not difficult. I usually grind the fish first, and in the second stage - everything else - onions, garlic, soggy bread, eggs, and then mix the two parts of the minced meat. But you can put everything in a bowl at once. At this stage, you can add salt and your favorite seasonings. This could be a special seasoning “For Fish”, but you can also use something separately - ginger, turmeric, peppers, paprika.
Some people like thick minced meat to make cutlets with their hands. I prefer it slightly more liquid, and fry it like a pancake, spooning out the minced meat.
Any cutlets should be fried in a well-heated frying pan with oil. The minced meat is tender and fries quite quickly - 2-3 minutes on each side over medium heat. It is better not to cover with a lid.
As a side dish, fish cutlets love mashed potatoes or stewed vegetables - these are the most suitable side dishes. At the dacha, I usually don’t get around to a side dish, and fish cutlets are eaten with bread in the form of a sandwich.
They go well with raw vegetables in the form of slices or salad.
Other options for preparing pike cutlets
Composition of minced meat
I prefer fish cutlets with bread (white bread), but some housewives do not add bread pulp at all. They use semolina as a filler that softens the taste of the cutlets.
Sometimes oatmeal or rice flakes are added to fish cutlets. If you don't have enough buns, semolina or cereal, you can add starch or flour (plain or rice).
Instead of mackerel, you can put lard - for 1 kg of pike fillet from 50 to 300 g of lard (as you like). And the quantity of onions can be increased to 3 heads. Just watch the consistency; if the minced meat is too liquid because of this, add additional semolina or starch.
And if you don’t have pike, then you can make these cutlets entirely from mackerel, mackerel with haddock, mackerel with cod.
Cooking method
Pike cutlets with mackerel, like any other fish cutlets, can be prepared in different ways: frying, stewing, baking, steaming. The choice of cooking method depends on your desire and health (not everyone can eat fried food).
At the same time, the process of preparing pike cutlets proceeds the same way up to stage No. 3. That is, cleaning the pike and the composition of the minced meat will be the same for all cooking methods, but the heat treatment of the cutlets may be different.
Homemade fish cakes are not like “diflop on croutons” or “fricassee with fresh truffle consommé”! Very tasty fish cutlets - a democratic, tasty, satisfying and inexpensive dish, easy to prepare and incredibly healthy, even if you make it from the most ordinary mackerel.
How to separate fish fillets from bones
An inexperienced cook may have problems cutting fish into clean fillets. It's not scary, skill will come with experience. Helpful advice: start cleaning the fish before it is completely thawed. Using a sharp knife, we cut off the head, tail, fins, clean out the insides, make cuts along the ridge and from below from the belly to the tail, and then grab the skin at the scruff of the neck with our fingers and remove it from the fish in two ribbons.
Then, we arm ourselves with a blunt (table) knife with a rounded end and begin to separate the meat from the bones. The fillet comes off easily from the backbone and ribs, but in the area of the midline you need to be more careful and, in case of difficulties with small side bones, use tweezers.
In addition to the mackerel fillet, we will need the most traditional cutlet set: onions, garlic, salt and pepper, and a bun soaked in milk.
Well, and two more secret ingredients: oat bran for breading and something for binding the minced meat, but more on that in due time.
How to make minced fish
And no meat grinders or, God forbid, blenders! Just a sharp knife, with which we finely chop the fillet, onion and garlic - this is the main secret of any juicy minced meat, be it for cutlets, manti or as a filling for pies.
We put all the chopped components of the minced meat in a bowl, add a loaf lightly squeezed out of milk, add salt and pepper and are puzzled by the question: how should we bind the minced meat?
If the portion is large, 3-4 fish, then no problem - beat a raw egg into the minced meat. But if we cook from a single fish, then after adding a whole egg instead of cutlets we will get an omelet!
What, you say, is the problem? Let’s fry more, we’ll finish what’s left tomorrow! But no! Nutritionists are categorically against it! Hot fish dishes, especially fatty ones, should be eaten immediately, without leaving them “for later,” because the most valuable thing in them is unsaturated fatty acids, all these omega-3 and omega-6, after heating they completely disintegrate in just a couple of hours. not useful fragments. So, let’s remember the principle: hot fish dishes should be prepared for one serving and eaten immediately before they get cold!
How then to knit minced meat for three cutlets from such a lonely fish? There are several options. You can add a teaspoon of dry semolina, you can add a tablespoon of finely grated raw potatoes or boiled sticky rice, or, as in this case, add a little egg powder. Yes, they also say that in order to soften the sharp fishy smell, you need to add a little dry milk to the minced meat. Personally, I don’t find the smell of freshly defrosted, not stale, good-quality mackerel sharp or unpleasant, but we’ll still add a spoon or two of powdered milk - purely for taste and tenderness.
How to make fish cutlets
Knead the minced meat thoroughly with your hand until the protein threads stretch, let it ripen for about 10 minutes, and proceed to forming the cutlets.
You can easily form cutlets with your hands, or you can use the so-called “chef’s ring”, then we will get beautiful, even, perfectly round cutlets.
We moisten the board, ring, piston and spoon with water, put a portion of minced meat in the ring, press it with a spoon and finally level it with the piston. We remove the ring, pry the finished meatball with a wide wet knife and place it in a tray with breading - oat bran.
Why specifically bran and specifically oat bran?
Ordinary breadcrumbs made from white bread are quite high in calories in themselves, and even absorb a lot of fat when frying. In addition, store-bought breading contains a bunch of all sorts of anti-caking, antioxidant and other additives, and it’s not a fact that all of them are healthy.
Homemade homemade breadcrumbs, of course, do not contain any unnecessary chemicals, but they very quickly lose their freshness and go rancid, and for some reason it’s too lazy to prepare new breadcrumbs every time for a portion of cutlets. So the choice in favor of bran is quite obvious. Well, why oatmeal? They stick well to the minced meat, stay firmly on it, do not absorb fat when frying, and have a very appetizing crunch.
How to fry mackerel fish cutlets
Cutlets in general, and fish cutlets in particular, are much healthier if they are not fried in a frying pan in a huge amount of fat, but grilled or steamed. It is for this occasion that such a wonderful gadget as an air fryer was invented especially for fans of healthy eating!
We warm up the grill, spread literally a few drops of vegetable oil on the tray with a silicone brush, lay out our fish cutlets, and lightly brush each one on top with an oiled brush. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side at maximum temperature and ventilation. There is no air fryer - we bake the cutlets in the oven, and if you want, you can fry them in a frying pan.
In the meantime, let's make the side dish. Delicious mackerel fish cutlets go well with boiled or stewed vegetables: potatoes, carrots, peas, cauliflower, green beans, etc.
But today I decided to arrange a “Chinese-style dinner”: we garnish our crispy mackerel cutlet with funchose and soy sauce, add pickled ginger for spiciness and oriental flavor, and fresh herbs will complete the picture.
Isn’t it true, the beauty and deliciousness in the photo, at the same time inexpensive, accessible, fast and very useful!
If you bought mackerel, but don’t know what to cook, then try making fish cutlets. Indian style mackerel cutlets
- a simple dish that will appeal to all lovers of “spicy”. These fish cutlets are made from boiled mackerel, which makes their preparation process much easier.
The original recipe contains Kashmiri green chillies and coriander leaves. But I couldn’t find these two ingredients on sale, so I replaced the Kashmiri pepper with regular chili pepper from the store, and instead of coriander leaves I added ground coriander.
Our delicious mackerel cutlets will go perfectly with rice or curry.
Option 4. Mackerel cutlets breaded with oatmeal
Thanks to cutting the pulp with a knife, rather than grinding it in a meat grinder, the products have a more pronounced taste. When fried, oatmeal gives the cutlets a beautiful and crispy crust.
Ingredients:
- 3 fresh frozen mackerel;
- 1 onion;
- 3 cloves of garlic;
- 255 g oatmeal;
- 1 egg;
- white bread - 3 small pieces;
- 125 ml milk;
- salt, black pepper, any seasoning - 20 g each;
- 165 ml refined oil.
How to cook
Step 1:
Set the frozen mackerel on the table in a plate for a while until it thaws slightly.
Step 2:
Free the half-thawed fish from the head and fins, make a small incision along the ridge, starting from the bottom to the belly. Use your fingers to grab the skin and slowly remove it, removing all the existing bones.
Step 3:
Cut the mackerel fillet into small pieces.
Step 4:
Chop the peeled onion into crumbs with a knife at the same time as the garlic cloves, and place in the chopped fish mixture.
Step 5:
Soak the bread in milk and put it in the minced meat, add the egg, add salt, season with pepper and seasoning, mix well.
Step 6:
With wet hands, form elongated cutlets, roll in oatmeal and place in a frying pan with hot oil, fry for 7 minutes on one side and the other.
Step 7:
Place the fried cutlets on napkins to absorb excess oil and serve on flat plates with stewed vegetables, boiled potatoes, rice or buckwheat. It can also be served with any spicy salad.
You don’t have to add the egg; in this case, use a little semolina or milk powder instead to bind the mass.

By the way, do not rush to pour out the oil or juice from canned food. They will add juiciness to the cutlets if you add them to the minced meat.
These fish balls are not only very tasty, but also healthy! Some may say that the fish is subjected to long-term heat treatment, so that there is no benefit or nutritional value left... But, nevertheless, softened fish bones remain in canned food, and they are precisely rich in digestible calcium.
