Ingredients

  • 12.7 oz (360 g) boneless cod or pollock, finely minced
  • 1.4 oz (40 g) white bread, crust removed
  • 1.8 oz (50 g) milk
  • 1.8 oz (50 g) egg, one large
  • 2.1 oz (60 g) onion, finely grated
  • 0.9 oz (25 g) breadcrumbs
  • 2.0 tsp (9 g) neutral oil
  • 4.2 oz (120 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 4.2 oz (120 g) cucumber, finely diced
  • 0.4 oz (10 g) dill, chopped
  • 0.3 tsp (2 g) salt
  • 0.5 tsp (1 g) black pepper

Method

  1. Check fish carefully for bones. Soak bread in milk for 5 minutes, then mash. Mix with fish, egg, onion, half the dill, salt and pepper.
  2. Shape into four cutlets and coat lightly in breadcrumbs. Chill for 15 minutes, additional to active preparation.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, then cover on low heat for 3–5 minutes until centers reach 160°F (71°C), which also cooks the egg mixture.
  4. Mix yogurt, cucumber and remaining dill. Serve two cutlets per person with the sauce.

Cook’s note: A practical minced-fish version. Thoroughly seal and chill the cutlets so they hold together in the pan.
