Description

My family eats these gluten free gefilte fish once a year. We prepare them at Passover, as my Bubby did, and serve them with homemade maror (ground horseradish).

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Halibut Fillets, Skinned And Boned
  • ½ pounds Salmon Fillets, Skinned And Boned
  • 2 Tablespoons Grapeseed Oil
  • 1 whole Large Onion, Diced
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Agave Nectar
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice, Freshly Squeezed
  • ¼ cups Fresh Dill, Finely Chopped
  • 1 cup Grated Carrots
  • ½ cups Parsley, Finely Chopped

Preparation

Cut the fish into large chunks and place in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground; do not puree.

Heat oil in a large frying pan. Saute onion over medium-low heat until soft and transparent, cool for 10 minutes. Pulse onions, eggs, salt, pepper, agave and lemon juice into the fish mixture. Pulse in dill, carrots and parsley. Refrigerate mixture for 3 hours.

Heat a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Shape fish mixture into 1 ½ inch balls. Drop balls into the water and cook for 15–20 minutes until cooked through.

Place balls in a large pyrex dish and refrigerate to cool. Serve with horseradish sauce and garnish with fresh sprigs of parsley.

I’ve never tried making gefilte fish — we just buy the it in the jar and my husband doctors it up (which is what his mother did). (We don’t make our own horseradish, either!) Interesting fish choices — I would never have thought of salmon. I’m not a big gefilte fish eater, but maybe I’ll try this this year!
Happy Passover!

Delightful. It warms my heart to see Passover recipes.
I love Gefilte Fish!
I moved to Georgia Mountains in the Bible Belt and I miss my Jewish friends and great Jewish food – especially during holiday celebrations.

Easy and tasty! Although I definitely need a bigger food processor since I had to do this in two batches.
