Baked Herbed Gefilte Fish

This baked herbed gefilte fish offers a refreshed take on a classic Jewish staple, transforming a simple frozen loaf into a fragrant and savoury centrepiece. By roasting the fish on a bed of sweet onions with paprika, parsley, and a hint of allspice, you infuse the loaf with a depth of flavour that far surpasses traditional boiling methods. The result is a succulent, well-seasoned dish that retains a firm texture and a delicate, spiced aroma.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on lean protein and heart-healthy olive oil rather than sugary fillers. It is an excellent choice for a healthy starter or a light lunch when served alongside a crisp salad or horseradish. Preparing it a day in advance allows the herbs to meld beautifully, making it a stress-free addition to any festive meal or weekly menu.

How to make Baked Herbed Gefilte Fish
