ELLYN GOODRICH'S ALASKAN HALIBUT AND SALMON GEFILTE FISH TERRINE (PAREVE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with the margarine.
• 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 the oil in a large frying pan, and sauté the onions over medium-low heat 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 the electric mixer at medium speed, using a paddle attachment, for about 10 minutes. Add the dill, and grate in the carrots; mix well.
• Pour the mixture into the greased bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, and cover with foil. Place a large pan filled with water which is almost boiling and comes at least halfway up the sides of the bundt pan.
• 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, and then flip over, inverting the mold onto the plate. If the mold does not 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.

MY SPECIAL CRISPY BAKED FISH

Steps:

• Rinse and pat dry fish. Cut into 4 serving size pieces if needed.
• Measure thickness of each piece. This will determine cooking time.
• Create an assembly-type line with milk in one dish, flour in another.
• In the last dish, combine bread crumbs, parmesan, dill, and black pepper. Add melted butter, stir until forms small crumbs.
• Dip fish in milk (this helps the flour stick to fish).
• Then dip in flour.
• Dip again in milk.
• Then dip into bread crumb mixture. Press crumbs into fish if not sticking.
• Place fish on GREASED baking sheet.
• Bake uncovered at 450 degrees for 5 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness of fish. If the thickest part of fish is 1 inch thick, bake for 10 minutes. Check doneness by inserting fork and if fish flakes easily.
• I place rings of onion and lemon juice on bottom and top of fish while baking for extra flavor.

SALMON OR HALIBUT WITH FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• Thaw fish, if frozen.
• Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels.
• Cut into 4 serving-size pieces.
• For fruit salsa, in a medium bowl, stir together strawberries, peaches, or nectarines; kiwifruit or apricots; the snipped cilantro; the orange juice or apple juice; and jalapeno chile pepper.
• Set aside.
• Brush both sides of each fish piece with oil.
• Sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning.
• Coat the unheated rack of a broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place fish on rack.
• Broil 4 inches from heat for 8 to 12 minutes or just until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through broiling.
• Serve with the fruit salsa.
• If desired, garnish with cilantro sprigs. Makes 4 servings.
• *Note: Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.
• Grill Method: Coat the unheated rack of an uncovered grill with nonstick cooking spray. Place fish on rack directly over medium coals. Grill for 8 to 12 minutes or just until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through grilling.
