Pollock in the oven
4 servings
60 minutes
Baked pollock is a simple yet refined recipe from Russian cuisine that highlights the natural flavor of the fish. Historically, pollock was considered an affordable and healthy product widely used in home recipes. Its tender fillet is infused with a fragrant marinade of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and Provençal herbs, giving it freshness and sophistication. A side of roasted vegetables—cauliflower, tomatoes, and onions—complements the dish with rich flavors and appetizing texture. When baked, pollock acquires a light crispy crust while retaining its juiciness inside. This dish pairs perfectly with greens and light sides, making it an excellent option for dinner.
