Ingredients

• 1 lb Salmon fillet
• 1 lb Whitefish or cod fillet
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Carrot
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Matzo meal
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley or dill (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Using a food processor, finely grind the salmon fillet and whitefish (or cod) fillet until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and grate the onion and carrot. Add them to the fish mixture, stirring until evenly incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the beaten eggs to the fish mixture, along with the matzo meal, water, salt, pepper, sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly until a uniform consistency forms.

Step 5

Divide the fish mixture into two portions. Leave one portion as is, and to the second portion, add 1-2 tablespoons of grated carrot for a more vibrant orange layer (optional).

Step 6

Layer the mixture in the prepared loaf pan, starting with half of the plain fish mixture, followed by the colored fish mixture (if applicable), and finishing with the remaining plain fish mixture. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is firm and lightly golden.

Step 8

Allow the loaf to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Let it cool completely before slicing for neater presentation.

Step 9

Slice the loaf into even portions and garnish with fresh parsley or dill, if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
