BAKED GEFILTE FISH
Gefilte Fish is generally made with a "white" fish, and you can use different ones in this recipe. It's totally up to you which ones you use here. I really like this recipe, but not the kind you get in a jar, it's much better to make your own.

Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Carp and whitefish are the most traditional choices for gefilte fish, but you can also use pike, salmon, or trout. Just make sure the fish is fresh and boneless.
- Soak the matzo meal in water before using it. This will help it to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and make the gefilte fish more tender.
- Don't overmix the gefilte fish mixture. Overmixing can make the fish tough.
- Poach the gefilte fish gently. Bring the water to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the gefilte fish for 30-45 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
- Serve the gefilte fish hot or cold. Gefilte fish is traditionally served cold, but it can also be served hot. If you are serving it hot, you can pan-fry it or bake it in the oven.
