Prepare the fish broth: In a large pot, combine fish bones (if using), carrots, parsley root, celery root, onion, bay leaves, allspice, and peppercorns. Add water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Strain the broth, discarding the solids. You should have about 4-5 cups of broth.
đĄ Proffstips: Using fish heads and bones will create a more flavorful and gelatinous broth. - 2
Gently poach the fish fillets in the strained broth. Bring the broth back to a simmer, add the fish pieces, and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Carefully remove the fish pieces from the broth and set aside to cool slightly.
đĄ Proffstips: Do not overcook the fish, as it will become dry and difficult to handle. - 3
While the fish is poaching, prepare the gelatin. In a small bowl, whisk the gelatin powder with about 1/2 cup of cold water and let it bloom for 5-10 minutes.
đĄ Proffstips: Blooming the gelatin ensures it dissolves evenly without clumping. - 4
Reheat the strained broth gently. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until completely dissolved. Season the broth with salt to taste. Do not let the broth boil after adding gelatin.
đĄ Proffstips: Adding gelatin to hot, but not boiling, liquid helps it dissolve properly without losing its gelling power. - 5
Assemble the jellied fish: Choose serving dishes or a large platter. Arrange the poached fish pieces, sliced hard-boiled eggs, blanched peas, and some of the cooked carrot slices from the broth attractively in the dishes.
đĄ Proffstips: Arrange the garnishes carefully for an appealing presentation. - 6
Gently pour the seasoned broth over the fish and garnishes, ensuring everything is covered. The broth should be warm, not hot, when pouring.
đĄ Proffstips: Pouring warm broth prevents the delicate garnishes from breaking apart. - 7
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the jelly is firm. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs before serving.
đĄ Proffstips: Chilling overnight allows the flavors to meld and the jelly to set completely.
đĄ Proffstips
- âFor an extra clear jelly, strain the broth through a cheesecloth-lined sieve.
- âIf you prefer a stronger fish flavor, you can use a whole fish (cleaned) to make the broth.
- âThis dish can be made in individual ramekins or a larger serving dish.
