Fish cutlets
2 servings
40 minutes
Fish patties are tender and juicy cutlets rooted in Russian culinary traditions. They combine the soft fish fillet with mashed potatoes, creating an airy and velvety texture. The light tang of pickled onions enhances the fish's tenderness, while Dijon mustard and black pepper add spiciness. A blend of two types of cheese gives depth to the flavor, creating a pleasant creamy note. The patties are ideally served with tomato sauce, which refreshes the taste and highlights the fish notes. This dish is suitable for both cozy family dinners and festive gatherings.
