Published January 1, 2016
Ingredients:
1 loaf frozen gefilte fish, defrosted (22 ounces) or 1 jar (24 ounces), drained
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 small red onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 1/2 cups light mayonnaise, divided
4 tablespoons chopped dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
1 cup coarsely crushed matzah
Canola oil for frying
1 lemon, juiced
4 tablespoons prepared horseradish
Directions:
In a large bowl combine gefilte fish, peppers, onions, celery, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, dill, salt, pepper, egg and matzah and stir well to combine. Using slightly wet hands, scoop ¼ cup and form into patties. Place on a sheet pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes before frying.
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Fry patties in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until golden brown. (Can be kept warm in the oven at 250 degrees).
In a small bowl, combine remaining 1 cup mayonnaise, lemon juice and horseradish; stir. To serve, plate 2 cakes on a small plate and garnish with a tablespoon of horseradish sauce.
