Well, I wasn&#8217;t surprised when I couldn&#8217;t find any fish in my freezer, so I went <del>fishing<\/del> shopping despite the blizzard. I met a lot of fishes in the sea food isle that I hadn&#8217;t tried yet, among them was Pollock. Just to try out a new fish, Pollock became my catch of the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I bought a bag of Pollock fillets and rushed home to make it my dinner. When it comes to fish, I love Indian way of cooking it especially Kerala style: Spicy and flavorful. I literally cannot think of poaching or baking fish with just ground pepper and salt. I need more flavors to it and every bite of it should make me go &#8220;mmm&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On the other hand, my husband is not a huge fan of spicy food. The milder the food the happier he gets and he likes fish to be served not in a curry format. So keeping this in my mind and incorporating Kerala flavors I was successful enough to impress both of ours taste buds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Pan Fried Pollock<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7063 size-full\" title=\"Pan fried Pollock\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/pan-fried-pollock.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/pan-fried-pollock.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/pan-fried-pollock-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/pan-fried-pollock-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pollock fillets- 5<\/li>\n<li>Oil- for pan frying fish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For marination:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chili powder- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Ground Pepper- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Turmeric powder- 2 pinches<\/li>\n<li>Fennel Powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Cumin Powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Vinegar- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt- \u00a0to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For Cooking Veggies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small Onion, chopped- 10<\/li>\n<li>Ginger, minced- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Banana Pepper, de-seeded, cut round- 1<\/li>\n<li>Raw Green mango, cut long- 1<\/li>\n<li>Tomato, diced- 1<\/li>\n<li>Green pepper, diced- 1<\/li>\n<li>Broccoli florets- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Curry Leaves- 1 sprig (optional)<\/li>\n<li>Coriander powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Fennel Powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Chili powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Cumin Powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instruction<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In a small bowl, combine the above mentioned ingredients for marinating the fish.<\/li>\n<li>Spread the paste over each pollock fillet and keep aside for 10 minutes.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7064 size-full\" title=\"marinated pollock fillet\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/marinated-pollock-fillet.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/marinated-pollock-fillet.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/marinated-pollock-fillet-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/marinated-pollock-fillet-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Heat a non-stick pan, add enough oil for pan frying the fish.
