45 minutes
Pollock in batter is a refined combination of lightness and rich flavor from Russian cuisine. This recipe features tender fish fillet infused with lemon and dill aroma, wrapped in airy batter and fried to a crispy golden crust. Its roots trace back to traditional fish cooking methods where the batter serves as protection against losing juiciness. Pollock has a mild, slightly sweet taste that pairs wonderfully with a tangy sauce made from mayonnaise, mustard, and pickles. This dish is perfect for both everyday dinners and festive tables. It is best served hot with sauce and fresh vegetables, creating a harmony of flavors and textures.
