  • 1 can of canned saury;
  • 2 potatoes and onions;

To make fish cutlets from saury with potatoes, remove the bones from the fish and then mash the pieces with a fork.

We peel the onions and potatoes, wash them, and then grate them on a fine grater. You can also chop the onion very finely.

Mix vegetables with canned food, add semolina, semolina, eggs, salt, spices and liquid from a can of saury. Mix everything well to achieve a homogeneous minced meat.

I remember we fried these cutlets from canned fish back in my student years; at that time, not a single feast in the hostel was complete without them. Many years have passed since that time, and a couple of weeks ago my husband reminded me of them - we treated him to saury cutlets at work, my husband liked it and wanted me to make him such cutlets. That’s when I remembered my wonderful student years, I had to remember the recipe - I modified it a little, read on the Internet about boiled potatoes.
My husband really liked the fish cutlets I made from canned saury in oil, now he asks for them often - and I’m glad, because you don’t need any expensive ingredients to prepare them. The result is something like economy-class cutlets, but very tasty and juicy, and they don’t fall apart, but taste very pleasant and tender. I recommend everyone to try this option and add variety to their daily diet.
When preparing fish cutlets from saury, I choose fish from the Yuzhmorrybflot brand - it has been tested several times, these canned foods are the most delicious.

I put the contents of the jar in a deep salad bowl and mash the saury thoroughly with a fork.


I boil the rice until tender in salted water; I get about a glass of boiled rice, which is exactly the amount needed for a jar of saury.
I boil the potatoes in their skins, then peel them and grate them on a fine grater - this, together with the eggs, will help the cutlets not to crawl.
I peel the onion and fry it until slightly golden.


All components that have undergone heat treatment must be allowed to cool.

Then add potatoes, rice, a chicken egg (or better yet, take a couple), finely chopped parsley, salt and ground black pepper to taste into a container with chopped saury.


We carefully mix all the ingredients - the result is a kind of minced fish.

If it is a little runny, place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Let’s start forming the cutlets; I don’t recommend making them huge, because during the frying process they will crack and even fall apart a little. We form cutlets of medium size; each of them must be rolled in breadcrumbs.


In principle, if there are no breadcrumbs, then you can use regular flour, but after flour the pan will start to smoke, in general, the first option is better.
Fry canned saury cutlets in sunflower oil on one side until golden brown. Then we carefully turn them over onto another and bring them to readiness. The process of frying such cutlets is not particularly long, since all their components are already ready for use.


These are the ruddy and delicious saury cutlets I got - they are very juicy inside, and the taste is simply delicious. One canned saury yields approximately 12 cutlets; 2 cutlets did not survive to the photo shoot, which my little son devoured with gusto.


It is better to serve saury fish cutlets warm; any salad is suitable as a side dish.
Bon appetit!

Preparation:


Today I want to show you how to turn a can of canned food into delicious fish in just a few minutes. The recipe for these fish cutlets will be useful, first of all, for busy housewives who do not have time to stand at the stove for a long time. I already wrote earlier that these cutlets became a kind of discovery for me; we can rightfully say that their taste is not much worse than fish cutlets made from fresh fish.

I made my first cutlets from canned sardines with a loaf of bread and cheese. If you are interested, the recipe for these cutlets can be found here -. This time I decided to cook sardine cutlets with rice. Adding rice to the cutlet mass is not uncommon today and this will not surprise anyone. The fact is that rice, just like semolina or rolled oats, is an excellent thickener for cutlet mass and can always be used with complete confidence instead of a loaf.

Now let's see how to cook fish cutlets from canned sardines with rice step by step.

Ingredients:

  • Canned sardine in oil - 1 can,
  • Onions - half an onion,
  • Eggs - 1 pc.,
  • Rice - 0.5 cups,
  • Salt - to taste
  • Ground black pepper - a pinch,
  • Vegetable oil.

Sardine cutlets with rice - recipe

Once all the ingredients are prepared, you can start preparing the sardine fish cutlets with rice. First of all, let the rice boil. You can use either long grain or round rice for these canned sardine cutlets. Be sure to wash the rice in several waters before cooking. Next, put it in a saucepan. Fill with cold water. Salt the water.

Boil until tender for 15 minutes. After this time, remove the pan from the heat. Cover it with a lid and let the rice sit for another 5 minutes. Place the cooked rice in a colander. Rinse it with cold water. Open a can of canned sardines. Place the fish pieces into a deep bowl.

Peel the onion. Cut half the onion into small cubes or grate on a fine grater. Add the onion to the bowl with the sardine.

Beat in the egg.

Add cooked rice.

Mix all ingredients until smooth minced meat is obtained. Salt the resulting minced fish and sprinkle with black pepper. Stir again.

From the finished mass, all that remains is to fry the cutlets. Sardine fish cutlets with rice are fried just like regular fish cutlets. First you need to heat a frying pan with vegetable oil well. Using hands moistened with water (to prevent the minced meat from sticking), roll into round or oval cutlets. Additionally, they can be breaded in flour or breadcrumbs. Place the cutlets in a frying pan.

Fry until golden brown on both sides.

To remove excess oil, you can cover the plate with napkins or a paper towel. Sardine fish cutlets with rice serve hot. Mashed potatoes and pasta go especially well with them. I recommend cooking fish as well.

Many people are accustomed to treating canned food as camp food. But you can make real culinary masterpieces from them. Many recipes and admiring reviews online only confirm this fact. Therefore, if you are tired of familiar dishes and want to surprise your household with something unusual, then do not forget to grab a can of canned fish from the store shelf.





How to choose?

The choice of canned fish is very wide. But often we buy a “pig in a poke”. After all, we know nothing about the contents of these metal cans. The main criteria will be visual inspection and trust in the manufacturer. Besides:

  • cans must be intact, dents and rust on the surface are not allowed;
  • pay attention to the expiration date;
  • It is better if the jar indicates that the fish in it is presented in the form of pieces;
  • look at the composition (the ideal option would be to contain only fish, sunflower oil and natural spices and salt) - the more various artificial flavors and additives are indicated there, the less healthy the product will be in the end.







Preparing Ingredients

Despite the fact that there are very specific recipes for preparing this or that dish, no one forbids you to experiment. Here are a few secrets you'll need while cooking.

  • Make sure the canned food is chilled before cooking. This will simplify further work with them. When crushed with a fork, all parts will mix evenly, and you will get a homogeneous consistency.
  • Don't make the cutlets too big. If you try to turn them over in the pan, they may break.
  • When preparing minced meat, make sure that the fish is chopped well enough. This way you will achieve a uniform taste, and they won’t fall apart.
  • Semolina will help turn cutlets from any fish puree into a fluffy soufflé. Mix it with the minced meat in advance so that it has time to swell.
  • For onion lovers, it is better to thoroughly crush this spicy ingredient before adding it to the fish. Too large pieces are not the best indicator of a good dish.







Recipes

Making cutlets from canned fish is not difficult at all. Even a novice housewife can cope with such a task. The main thing is to buy a quality product at the nearest supermarket. The following fish are good for cutlets: pink salmon, pollock, sardines, tuna. If you find something more exotic on the shelves, then you can give free rein to your imagination and surprise your loved ones with an unusual combination. Do not forget that the final result will depend not only on the canned food used, but also on additional ingredients. They can be rice, potatoes, semolina. Spices also play a significant role. A moderate amount of them added to a dish can beneficially highlight the taste of fish.

Classical

Most often, when preparing any cutlets, housewives add bread to them. Due to this, the structure of the dish improves, it becomes less dense. This also affects the taste, which will be more delicate.

So, to prepare canned cutlets according to the classic recipe, we will need the following ingredients:

  • the canned food itself (you can choose according to your own taste) - one can will be enough to feed your family;
  • a pair of chicken eggs;
  • large onion;
  • milk (you can also use water, but it will taste better with milk);
  • black bread or loaf - a couple of pieces;
  • pepper mixture;
  • breading (you can take crackers or use regular flour for these purposes).

As for the preparation itself, we will consider the whole process step by step.

  • Step 1. Open the canned food and crush it with a fork. You should not use a blender, as the fish is quite soft and you can overdo it and get a puree. It will be much more pleasant to taste the fish without bumping into bones or too large pieces.



  • Step 2. Pour milk over the bread and let it brew. When softened, it will be much easier to mix with minced meat.



  • Step 3. Boil the eggs hard. Some housewives add them raw. You can try both options. We will peel the finished eggs and chop them finely (you can also use a fork).



  • Step 4. We combine all our ingredients. Don't forget about onions, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. In all parts of the minced meat, the products should be present in approximately equal parts.



  • Step 5. We form cutlets and roll them in breading. Pour oil (sunflower) into a heated frying pan.



  • Step 6. Fry our preparations until done. Since the canned food is already ready, this will take literally a couple of minutes (on each side).



This dish can be served with almost any side dish. And the cooking method itself can vary at the request of the housewife. For example, if you are preparing them for children, then use a double boiler. This will help avoid the appearance of harmful carcinogens in the dish.





With rice

For this recipe we will need the same ingredients as for the classic version. Only one new one is added - this is rice. You will need about one and a half cups of it (ready). The good thing about this recipe is that if you have some rice left over from yesterday's dinner, it can be used to prepare a new dish. If you cook fresh, then take peeled. This rice will provide the gluten we need, which will prevent the cutlets from falling apart.

Next, we follow the already familiar pattern. Drain the oil from the canned food, remove the seeds (if there are any) and chop with a fork. For this recipe, haute cuisine professionals advise using raw eggs. Moreover, it will be nice if you beat the yolks and whites separately and add them to the minced meat. This will give it an airy texture.

After this, add rice. If you just boiled it, let it cool a little. Next come spices, chopped onions, salt. To give the cutlets a special flavor, you can add herbs to your taste. Mix well and form cutlets, roll them in breading and fry.

Don't turn the heat on high. This will cause the outside of the product to cook, but the inside will remain raw.

To learn how to prepare canned fish cutlets with rice, watch the video below.

With semolina

One of the most popular recipes. Semolina can be added to almost any cutlet. Canned options are no exception. Regardless of what recipe with semolina you use and in what quantities you need to add it, remember that it must be pre-prepared. To do this, you can mix it with minced meat and let it stand for a while, or pour milk over it (if the quantity is large).

For our recipe, we suggest taking the ingredients in the following proportions: about 200 grams of canned food and 1.5 cups of semolina. Among the additional ingredients we will also need a couple of eggs, pepper, salt, and onion. If you don’t like the cutlets to be greasy, drain all the oil in advance. To do this, place them in a colander. We arm ourselves with a fork and chop the pieces of fish. The onion adds tenderness to the cutlets, but for this you need to chop it finely. You can also use a blender. Next, break the eggs into minced meat, combine them with semolina, salt and spices. Let it sit until the semolina softens. If you are cooking for children, you can give the cutlets funny shapes.

But be sure to sprinkle them with breadcrumbs. Fry over medium heat on both sides.

To learn how to cook semolina cutlets, watch the video below.

The advantage of this dish is not only that the cutlets are very tasty, but also in its versatility. You can safely offer it to the youngest tasters, take it with you on a picnic, and even use it as the main dish for a family dinner.



With potatoes

Potatoes can be not only an excellent side dish, but also a full-fledged ingredient in the minced meat itself. In the potato recipe, we allow ourselves to experiment with spices to give the dish an interesting taste and aroma. We will need:

  • can of canned fish (pink salmon);
  • a couple of potatoes;
  • garlic;
  • cinnamon;
  • cardamom;
  • Bay leaf;
  • ginger (one pinch);
  • turmeric;
  • chilli;
  • sugar and salt.

Try to remember the order in which you add spices, as this will determine the final taste of the cutlets. So, put the frying pan on the fire, add oil and fry the onion and garlic. Next, cut the potatoes into pieces and place them raw in the pan. The first spice we will use is ginger. Fry for 5 minutes. Pour half a cup of water and add the next batch of spices: turmeric and bay leaf. Add the mashed fish at the same stage.

Now you can rest while everything simmers (20 minutes). The fire should be moderate. Open the lid, remove the bay leaf and add a small amount of cardamom. Remove from heat, stir and crush with a masher. All that remains is to add salt, chili pepper and cinnamon. Our spicy minced meat is ready. There is nothing original in the process of frying cutlets. Form, place in a frying pan and wait until golden brown on both sides.



If you want to prepare fish cutlets for the holiday table, then use salmon. This noble fish goes well with potatoes. In this case, you can leave the traditional spices (salt, pepper) so as not to overpower the taste of the fish. None of your guests will even guess that you used canned salmon.



With oat flakes

To make the cutlets tender and tasty, use instant oatmeal. They will reduce cooking time. If these are not available, then you can get by with regular ones, but they will need to be pre-soaked in warm boiled water. The recipe for making fish cutlets with oatmeal is very simple. But the taste will surprise you and your family. After all, even a familiar dish can be given interesting notes through new ingredients.

As with all the recipes discussed above, you will need a jar of canned fish for preparation. Open, remove bones, chop. Everything else is just as simple. Mix the fish with chopped onion and beaten egg. Add 6 tbsp. l. flakes and chopped dill (you can also use the dried version). All that remains is to add salt and pepper. Even though we took instant cereal, they need to be given time to swell. Therefore, leave the minced meat for 20 minutes. Now you can heat the pan and fry the formed cutlets.



With buckwheat

A huge advantage of canned fish cutlets is the ability to combine them with various cereals. We have already considered the option with rice. But the choice is not limited to this cereal. It is quite possible to use buckwheat, grain, and even pearl barley. Thus, we get a “two in one” dish. This will be both a side dish and the cutlets themselves. To prevent the plate from looking empty, add fresh chopped vegetables as a complete side dish - a great option for those who are watching their figure.

To make the dish even more dietary, try baking the cutlets in the oven. You can try cooking them in a double boiler. To give the crust a delicious golden brown color, lightly fry it in a little oil. If the pan allows it (the food does not burn), you can do without it.

So, take a glass of boiled buckwheat. You don’t even need to salt it, since the canned food is already salted. We recommend using sardines for this recipe (although other canned foods will work). Add it to the crushed fish (you will also need one jar). Sauté carrots and onions in a frying pan and place in minced meat. Next is the line of eggs (2 pcs.), spices, salt. Our minced meat is completely ready. All that remains is to form neat cutlets, roll in breading and fry.

Canned fish cutlets - what could be simpler? But even this simple dish requires knowledge of a few simple cooking secrets. Follow the recommendations and recipes, and your favorite gourmets will not even realize that the fragrant meatballs on their plates are made from canned, not fresh fish.

How to make delicious cutlets from canned fish

Place canned fish in a bowl. Here is a product called sardinella. These are pieces of sardines in oil. If you have other canned fish in your kitchen, take them. But keep in mind that the recipe requires about 200 g of fish. Drain the oil from the pieces; it will not be needed in the recipe. Also remove the seeds. Mash the pieces with a fork or spatula until smooth. You can use a blender for grinding.

Immediately add dry semolina to the fish. Mix well.

Peel and rinse the onions. Finely chop. You can grate it or grind it in a blender. Add to bowl.

Break the eggs. Add salt and mayonnaise. Store-bought sauce can be replaced with sour cream. And if you like food with a slight spicy flavor, add a drop of table mustard or a crushed tip of chili pepper.

Mix the mixture thoroughly. The cutlet dough should come out. To ensure that the semolina grains swell well, leave the mixture on the table. A quarter of an hour is enough. Just for this time, cover the bowl with a lid or bag.

Let the frying pan with the oil heat up. Meanwhile, take the dough with a tablespoon. Don’t be afraid if it’s a little runny – the cutlets will come out juicier. Form a round, slightly flattened semi-finished product. To prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, wet them in cold water. Bread the workpieces in flour. If you have breadcrumbs on hand, you can use them for cooking. Immediately place the shaped semi-finished products in a hot frying pan with oil.

Fry until golden brown on the underside. This will happen quickly - literally in 2-3 minutes. Then flip each cutlet over. For cooking, use slightly less than moderate heat.

If you don’t want to use a lot of oil for frying, you can simmer the products a little. To do this, pour 3-4 tablespoons of boiled hot water or broth into the frying pan. Use fish or vegetable. When the liquid has evaporated, let the products fry a little more until golden brown. And the dish will be ready.

Serve canned fish cutlets with semolina with any side dish. Canned peas or any fresh herb salad are perfect. If desired, also make a sauce - sour cream with chopped herbs or grated pickled cucumbers.

Few people know that cutlets made from canned fish are no worse than those made using regular minced meat. Moreover, such a dish is much more aromatic and juicy, and also does not require a long stay near the stove.

General information about canned fish dishes

Canned fish cutlets are made in literally 40-50 minutes. This dish can be served with various side dishes and sauces. It should also be noted that the choice of fish type for future cutlets has absolutely no significance. The main thing is that the jar contains pulpy pieces without various fins, heads and other inedible elements, as well as a large amount of oil.

Canned fish cutlets: step-by-step recipe

To make such a dish yourself, you do not need to buy a lot of expensive and varied ingredients. For the cutlets we need:

  • canned fish (preferably pink salmon) - 2 standard jars;
  • long grain rice - 1/3 small glass;
  • potato tubers - 2 medium pcs. (you can not use it if you wish);

Product processing

Canned pink salmon cutlets are very juicy and flavorful. But before you start sculpting such products, you should prepare the minced fish in advance. To do this, you need to sort out the long grain rice, rinse it thoroughly, and then boil it until completely soft in salted water.

After the cereal has been processed, you can begin preparing the potatoes. It must be cleaned and then grated (large). As for the onions, you should simply chop them into small cubes.

Preparation of minced meat

Preparing cutlets from canned fish does not take much time. After all, to create such a dish there is no need to separately process the river product. To do this, you just need to mash the canned pink salmon with a fork, and then add boiled rice, grated potatoes, chopped onions and a raw country egg to it. The ingredients also need to be seasoned with spices, but taking into account the fact that the fish is already too salty and spicy.

When you mix all the ingredients with a large spoon, you will get a fairly thick minced meat that holds its given shape well.

The process of forming products and frying them on a stove

Canned fish cutlets, the recipe for which we are considering, are formed quite easily. To do this, you should take 1.5 large spoons of minced meat in your hands, and then mold it into round products and flatten it a little. Next, all the formed cutlets must be rolled in wheat flour (or breadcrumbs) and placed in a heated frying pan with oil. Fry a dish of canned pink salmon until both sides are browned. After this, the cutlets need to be placed on plates and served along with any side dish.

Step-by-step recipe for canned Saira cutlets

To prepare such aromatic products, you need:

  • canned fish (it is advisable to take saury) - 2 standard jars;
  • oatmeal - ½ small glass;

Cooking minced meat

Canned saury cutlets turn out to be especially tender if you add an additional component such as oatmeal to the minced meat. To do this, place the fish product in a large bowl and mash with a fork until it becomes a homogeneous paste (along with the broth). Next, you need to add finely chopped onion, a large country egg, oatmeal and any spices, including salt, to the saury. As a result, you should get quite thick and aromatic minced meat.

Forming and frying products

Canned fish cutlets should be formed exactly the same way as if you were using regular minced meat. To do this, you need to take it in your hands in the amount of one and a half large spoons, and then make a ball or oval and lightly crush it.

Next, all the formed cutlets from canned fish need to be placed in a heated frying pan with oil and fried on both sides until an appetizing crust appears. After this, the dish must be placed on plates along with the side dish and gravy, and then served hot.

Making fish cutlets with cheese filling

Canned cutlets in oil (for example, “Sprats”) turn out to be too aromatic and fatty. In this regard, we do not recommend using this product for preparing minced meat. For such a dish, it is best to purchase fish in a flavorful broth. The most suitable canned product is sardine.

So, to make delicious fried cutlets, we will need:

  • canned fish “Sardine” - 2 standard jars;
  • bitter onion not too large - 1 pc.;
  • large country egg - 1 pc.;
  • long grain rice - ½ small glass;
  • hard cheese - approximately 140 g;
  • light flour or breadcrumbs - use as desired;
  • deodorized sunflower oil - used for frying;
  • Any spices, including salt - use to taste and personal discretion.

Component Processing

Fish cutlets from canned sardines and hard cheese are prepared just as easily and simply as the previous dish options. To do this, you need to boil long-grain rice in salted water in advance, and also finely chop the bitter onions. As for the solid dairy product, it should only be cut into pieces of 2 by 2 centimeters.

Making flavorful minced meat

Before making the products and stuffing them with cheese, you should mix chopped canned sardines along with chopped onions, a country egg, boiled long-grain rice and aromatic spices in one bowl. As a result, you should get a fairly thick paste.

Forming cutlets and frying them

After preparing the minced meat, you need to take it in your hands in the amount of one and a half spoons, and then flatten it into a flat cake, place a piece of cheese in the center and form a cutlet so that the solid milk product remains inside.

After all fish products are formed in a similar way, they should be rolled in wheat flour (if desired, you can also use breadcrumbs), and then placed in a heated frying pan with oil.

Frying the fish cutlets takes about 5-8 minutes on each side. In this case, the products should be covered with a golden brown crust and become as appetizing as possible, and the filling should completely melt, but remain inside the products.

After preparing cutlets from canned fish, they should be carefully removed from the frying pan and distributed on plates along with any side dish. Additionally, this dish can be doused with aromatic tomato or creamy sauce. Also for lunch, it is advisable to present pieces of dark or light bread, a salad of fresh vegetables and herbs. Bon appetit!
