Fish And Bread Recipe
There is hardly anyone who comes to Istanbul and does not eat fish and bread while watching the sea while standing in front of the Galata Bridge in Eminönü. Fish bread is perhaps one of the city's most well-known street delicacies. Indispensable is plenty of spicy pickle juice. Enjoy your meal!
Ingredients:
For: 2 People
Prep: 10 Min
Cook: 10 Min
| Norwegian Mackerel (Fillet) | 2 Qty |

| Dry Onion | 2 Qty |
| Parsley | 1/4 Bunch |
| Curly Lettuce | 1/4 Bunch |

Steps:
-
Take the frozen mackerel fillets out of the freezer and thaw them in the refrigerator, when you are cooking, dry them with a paper towel.

Salt them close to cooking and drizzle lemon juice and olive oil (or vegetable oil) on them.

For the salad, wash the curly lettuce leaves and soak them in vinegar water. Peel the onions, cut them in half, and slice thinly slices into half rings.

Rub the onions lightly and rinse them. Remove the water with a paper towel. Finely chop the parsley leaves and lettuce and mix with the onions. Mix 1 teaspoon of salt with 1 teaspoon of sumac.

Heat a frying pan (preferably cast iron) and grill the fish by turning it for 2-3 minutes on one side and for 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Divide the breads in two, take the insides of the breads if you wish, and warm the fish by pressing them in the pan.

Place the fish between the loaves, one half fillet per half loaf.

Divide the onions and greens on the bread and serve hot with a drizzle of lemon juice if you wish. Enjoy your meal!
