Rice in minced fish perfectly performs the function of a connecting element, more often eggs play its role in minced meat. But in this recipe we will not use them. Onion I pass through a meat grinder along with fish fillet, but you can cut the onion into cubes and fry until golden brown, and then add to the minced meat. The fried onion will add flavor to the cutlets. Cutlets, boned before frying in breadcrumbs, in my opinion, better than in flour. They come out nice and crispy. I have from specified quantity ingredients makes 10 medium cutlets.

First of all, you need to go to the nearest store and buy fresh-frozen mackerel good quality. Place the fish in the sink and rinse thoroughly with cool water. Pat dry with paper towels. To clean from the insides, it is best when the fish is slightly frozen. If it is completely defrosted, then it is harder to work with it. Take kitchen scissors and cut off all the fins and tail. Cut off the head. Open the tummy and remove all the insides. Rinse thoroughly to remove the black film and dry immediately.



Turn the fish over on its stomach. Take a sharp knife and make a shallow incision along the entire spine. Remove skin.



Separate the fillet from the spinal bone. This can be done with a sharp knife or with your hands. Fillet cut in small pieces. Remove large bones. While we are cleaning the fish, it will completely defrost.





Now the pulp needs to be crushed. Use a meat grinder, blender or food processor for this. Transfer the chopped fillet to a convenient deep bowl.



Now you need a small onion and some garlic. Clean them and grind them in any of the ways listed above. If chopped vegetables have a lot of juice, squeeze it out so that the minced fish does not turn out liquid. Add garlic and onion to mackerel.



To pull the fish mass together, add 1-2 quail eggs and sprinkle with oatmeal. You can use bran. Mix all the fish mass well.



Bring the fish mixture to the desired taste, using salt and ground pepper. You can add any spices to your taste. Stir to distribute the spices evenly. Minced fish is of medium density.





With wet hands, form into small balls. Place in an ovenproof dish. Steam according to your technique.



Or bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees.



Pour some water into the bottom of the mold and cover with foil.
