Preparation
Step 1
You can use any white sea fish – pollock, hake, cod, etc. Thaw it in advance. If needed, gut the fish, and remove fins and tail. If using whole fish, cut into portions. I used ready-made steaks.
Step 2
Place the fish pieces in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and mix well to coat evenly. Peel and slice the onion into thin feathers.
Step 3
Peel and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
Step 4
Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Pour flour onto a flat plate. Coat the fish pieces in flour and place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
Step 5
Meanwhile, heat a second skillet. Add oil, then the sliced onion. Sauté for a few minutes until translucent. Add the grated carrot and cook for about 5 more minutes until softened.
Step 6
Place the fried fish pieces over the cooked vegetables. Dilute tomato paste in a cup of water (adjust quantity depending on desired sauce thickness). Pour over the fish. Add paprika and bay leaf.
Step 7
Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat, cover the pan with a lid. Simmer for 20–30 minutes depending on the type and thickness of the fish.
Step 8
Serve hot with any side dish. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your meal!
