Servings
6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 loaf frozen gefilte fish
- ¼ cup Jamie Geller Za’atar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of pepper
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon wasabi powder
- Water
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl combine the zaatar, salt, pepper and olive oil. Coat generously the frozen fish from all sides and place in a baking pan. Bake for 1 hour, until fully cooked, increase the heat to 425°F and bake for additional 10 minutes and let it get brown and crisp.
- For the wasabi aioli, slowly combine the wasabi powder with water until it becomes a paste (as instructed on the wasabi powder box). With a whisk or using your fingers, combine the wasabi with the mayonnaise. 4. The dish can be served warm or in room temperature.
You did everything right, could just be different ovens and maybe how frozen it was, sometimes things take longer.
After the 1/2 hour baking time recommended in the recipe the fish was still partially frozen. After an hour it finally seemed done and I did the 10 minutes at 425. The recipe clearly states to roll the “frozen fish”. Did I miss something in this recipe?
Hi michal
Thank you for contacting with this question.
Yes, you need to remove the parchment paper wrap and schemer the Zaatar directly on the fish.
Beteavon! Enjoy!

Hi
Do you bake it with the wrap on or do u put the zaatar directly on the unwrapped loaf?
