You can make regular fish balls not regular: just mix two kinds of fish and bake these balls over the beet pillow. It will fill them with a nice beet flavour.

How to cook fishballs in the oven

Fishballs: Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cut 500 g of perch fillet and 250 g of salmon fillet in pieces. Also cut raw carrots and onions. Pass through a meat grinder.

Step 2

Chop the leaves of 2 sprigs of tarragon and add to the stuffing. Do not throw twigs away, we will use them later.

Step 3

Add 2tbsp. of breadcrumbs to the stuffing and set aside the rest.

Step 4

Add 1 egg yolk in a bowl with minced meat, add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Peel a beet and slice it into small slices. Lay the slices on the bottom of the baking form in which you will bake fish balls.

Step 6

Mix the minced fish well and form large balls. I got 9 fish balls. Put them in a form over slices of beets.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining fish balls with the remaining breadcrumbs on top. Put a sprig of tarragon in the shape, they will give the dish a pleasant fresh flavour. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
