Halibut Salmon Terrine With Aioli Recipes

HALIBUT AND SALMON TERRINE WITH AIOLI AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Make the terrine: Coat a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, until soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Pulse halibut and salmon in a food processor until finely chopped (not smooth).
• Beat eggs with a mixer on medium speed until frothy, about 2 minutes. Beat in onion, fish mixture, cold water, matzo meal, sugar, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, and some pepper until well combined, about 3 minutes. Beat in carrot, parsnip, and dill.
• Transfer mixture to pan. Smooth top using an offset spatula. Cover with parchment-lined foil, and transfer to a large roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. Bake until terrine is firm in the center, about 45 minutes. Remove pan from water. Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the aioli: Mash garlic and a pinch of salt using a mortar and pestle or the side of a knife until a paste forms. Transfer to a bowl. Whisk in egg yolk and lemon juice. Gradually whisk in oils.
• Run a knife or an offset spatula around the edge of the pan to loosen terrine. Place a plate on top, then flip. Tap top and sides gently several times to help release terrine. Let cool completely. Soak up any released juices with a paper towel. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 1 hour.
• Uncover terrine. Slice, and serve with dollops of aioli and horseradish.

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.
