Honey-Garlic Gefilte Fish

This is a great recipe by Rivky Kleiman that’s in The Best of Family Table. It’s so easy and delicious that it’s become part of our regular rotation. I adapted it slightly to make it work for one loaf of gefilte fish, since the original called for two.

• 1 loaf gefilte fish, partly defrosted
• 2 tsp olive oil
• ¹⁄₂ medium Vidalia onion, diced
• 2–3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 5 Tbsp honey (or less)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat oil in a small frying pan. Add the onion and sauté until golden, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and honey and bring to a boil.

Unwrap gefilte fish and place in a greased loaf pan. Pour half the honey-garlic sauce on top. Freeze the rest in a small container for another week. Cover and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes (or longer, depending on how frozen your gefilte fish loaf is).
