One of the most underrated fish, in my opinion. Mintai is the leader among white fish in Omega-3 content, besides it is very tasty, tender and does not smell when cooked.
Mintai is a popular industrial fish, it is caught in huge quantities, but this does not detract from its value for food and the entire ecological chain. Mintai lives in cold waters and lives at depths of up to 300 m. Suitable for shores only during spawning. It feeds mainly on planktonic crustaceans. As it grows, minty begins to feed on larger prey, namely small fish (capelin, squid), herring fry, salmon and squid.
It is good when the catch region is indicated on the package of fish that is frozen. For example, the United States has one of the most tightly regulated fisheries in the world. If the USA is indicated on the packaging, you can be sure that the fish is caught using a rational, conscious and environmentally friendly fishing method. I called the Alaska region not just like that: this is not a brand, but a region.
Give preference to dry-frozen mintai fillets or mintai briquettes, then when defrosting, the process of which should take place at a minimum positive temperature (preferably in the refrigerator for several hours), you will have a minimum of water at the output, and the fish meat will retain its structure and a maximum of its nutritional properties.
- 1/4-1/5 cups homemade jam or jam (plum or berry, better low in sugar)
- 4 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. dry oregano
- 1/8 tsp chili pepper
- 4 minty fillets
- Option without jam - mix mustard+olive oil+finely chopped black olives.
There are many methods to defrost fish fillets, but the safest is smooth defrosting at low positive temperatures: without removing the package, in the refrigerator, for example, at night.
Mix all the ingredients for the marinade. There is no salt on the list, because mustard is always already salted. Lubricate the fish thoroughly. You can bake immediately or let the fish stand for 15-75 minutes.
Marinated fish can be both baked and cooked on the grill (coal, gas, grill pan, electric grill or in the oven on the grill mode).
