Time 1h30m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds halibut fillets, skinned and boned
1 pound salmon fillets, skinned and boned
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, preferably kosher for Passover
4 medium Spanish onions, peeled and diced
4 large eggs
6 tablespoons matzoh meal
1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
2 teaspoons ground white pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons snipped dill, plus more for garnish
2 large carrots, peeled
Parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Cut the fish into large chunks, and place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse about 20 times: do not puree, but grind fine. Place in the bowl of an electric mixer.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan, and saute onions until soft and transparent. Let cool.
  • To the fish mixture, add the onions, eggs, 2 cups of cold water, matzoh meal, salt, white pepper, sugar and lemon juice. Beat in an electric mixer at medium speed for about 10 minutes. Add the dill, and grate in the carrots; mix well, using a paddle attachment.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased 12-cup bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, and cover with foil. Place in a larger pan filled with water that is almost boiling.
  • Bake in the oven for 1 hour, or until the center is solid. Cool for 5 minutes, or until mold is cool to the touch. Run a knife around the edges. Place a flat serving plate on top, then flip over, inverting onto the plate. If the mold doesn't come out easily, give the plate a shake. You should feel or hear it give.
  • Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Slice as you would a torte, and serve as an appetizer. Garnish with the parsley and remaining dill, and serve with red horseradish.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The terrine was a bit dry and the sauce was too tangy for my taste.

This was my first time making gefilte fish and it was a disaster. The terrine fell apart when I tried to slice it.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the terrine didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overcooked it.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of fish.

I love this recipe! It's a great way to use up leftover fish. I usually make it with salmon, but I've also tried it with halibut and cod. It's always delicious.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The fish is flaky and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and tangy. I love that it's a relatively easy dish to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant.
