Pozharsky cutlets from salmon
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Pожарские cutlets are usually made from chicken or game, but today I'm offering a fish version. Inside the cutlets is melted butter, while the outside has a thin crispy crust. Since they're baked in the oven, the cutlets are less caloric and require almost no attention during cooking. They go perfectly with a vegetable side dish or a simple salad. Serve the finished dish at the table.
