Baked Gefilte Fish

Baked Gefilte Fish is a traditional Jewish dish that brings a modern twist to the classic recipe by infusing it with fresh herbs and spices, resulting in a flavorful and moist fish cake. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for a family gathering or a festive occasion, served warm with a tangy horseradish sauce.

Ingredients

• Gefilte fish (fresh or jarred) - 400 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Fresh dill - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gefilte fish, egg, finely chopped onion, dill, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
