12 ounces boneless salmon fillet, skinned
Chop salmon until fine. Transfer to bowl; set aside. In food processor, puree together onions, celery and oil. Cut white fish fillets into 1" (2.5cm) pieces; add to onion mixture and pulse until smooth paste forms.
In large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, salt and pepper until frothy; whisk in white fish mixture. Fold in chopped salmon, carrots, parsley, dill, and lemon rind until thoroughly combined.
Scrape into greased 8" (2L) square glass baking dish; place in roasting pan and pour in boiling water to come halfway up sides of dish. Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven until centre is firm, about 55 minutes. Let cool on rack. (Make-ahead: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days). Cut into squares.
Tip: If you prefer your gefilte fish a bit on the sweet side, increase the amount of sugar by 1 to 2 tbsp.
Author's Notes: This pretty, speckled gefilte fish is as effortless to make as taking the food processor out of the cupboard. We've also eliminated the time-consuming step of poaching individual pieces of gefilte fish in favour of this bake-and-slice casserole version. Serve on lettuce leaves and top with strips of roasted red pepper, with beet horseradish and halved cherry tomatoes alongside.
