1-and-1/2-quart rectangular mold
2 pounds salmon or tilapia fillets
1/2 cup Gefen Olive Oil
4 eggs
1/3 cup potato starch [or tapioca/arrowroot]
1/2 cup Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc or other dry white wine
1 medium onion, quartered
zest of 1 lemon
pinch of nutmeg
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 cup Beleaves Spinach, thawed and squeezed thoroughly dry
1/4 cup fresh, cleaned basil leaves
1/4 cup Tuscanini Tomato Paste
1 tablespoon paprika
1 bunch watercress, stems and all
1/4 cup prepared white horseradish
3/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground pepper
salt, to taste
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the mold and line it with plastic wrap, hanging over the sides.
Grind the fish mixture ingredients in a food processor until perfectly smooth. Divide the mixture into three equal parts in separate bowls.
Return one part of the mixture to the food processor and process it with the spinach and basil. Scrape it thoroughly out of the bowl (so you won’t have to wash it when mixing the pink layer). Pack the mixture tightly and neatly into the mold. This is the green layer.
Pour one of the other parts (white layer) on top of the green layer.
Process the last part of the fish mixture with the tomato paste and paprika until perfectly smooth (pink layer). Gently pack it on top of the white layer in the mold, so as not to disturb the layers beneath.
Cover and bake for one hour, or until the top is firm. Serve chilled, with the Watercress Wasabi Sauce, below.
Bring a pot of water to boil and plunge in the watercress for just a few seconds. Immediately rinse it in cold water. Thoroughly squeeze it dry.
Transfer the watercress to a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Store refrigerated in a glass jar.

Doesn’t make sense to have a white layer from what
maybe if you use talapia
Correct, using a white fish like tilapia would result in the white layer. Using salmon would not give you any white layer.
You make this with raw fish and don’t cook it? This recipe was generated by AI and it shows. Doesn’t make sense. Also, using salmon would not result in a “white” layer.
In the instructions, step number 6 states to bake for one hour, maybe you missed that step? Also, this recipe was created years before AI was! 🙂 You are correct, if you use salmon, you will not get a white layer.
