So much for saving money in the household.
Jellied salmon and trout fish heads - for the festive table
Even for a festive table, you can prepare jellied salmon or trout fish heads. One head will yield a little - 6 small servings, but very tasty.
Ingredients:
- 1 salmon or trout head and tail
- 1 squid
- salt pepper
- gelatin
- dill
We wash the fish head well, remove the gills carefully so as not to get hurt using a knife or scissors.
Place the head and tail in a saucepan with cold water and put on fire. Salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes.
Free the cooled head and tail from the bones.
Place 1 squid, peeled and skinned, into the remaining broth. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, turn off and leave until completely cool. By the way, the remaining broth will make a wonderful soup.
Cut the cooled squid into strips.
We read the instructions for gelatin, since there are different types of gelatin, and we make it according to the instructions, only we fill it with broth, not water. Then heat the broth with gelatin until completely dissolved.
First put pieces of fish into a silicone mold, then squid, and dill. I did it wrong the first time and put the dill down, hoping that when I turned the pan over, the dill would be on top. But when taken out of the molds, the integrity of the dill is violated - it turns out ugly, so it’s better to do the opposite.

Jellied meat recipe: 500-600 g of carp, 250-300 g of tomatoes, onion, carrot, tablespoon of gelatin, 3-4 broken walnut kernels, lemon (to taste), 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and grated horseradish; parsley.
Carp is a very bony fish, so instead of the traditional aspic, we’ll make jellied carp.
Peel tomatoes and lemon and cut into pieces.
We clean the carp carcass and cut it into pieces. Boil about half a kilogram of fish together with onions and carrots in 1 liter of salted water until tender.
Remove the boiled pieces of fish from the broth, add sunflower oil, head (without gills), tail, and fins of the carp.
Cook the broth for another hour and a half, then strain. From a decoction of fish and gelatin we prepare jelly for jellied carp, although at such a concentration the broth should set without gelatin.
Cut the boiled carrots into circles.
We clean portions of carp from all bones, mix the fish pulp with slices of tomatoes, lemon, walnuts, and a lot of horseradish.
Place the jellied meat ingredients in a mold moistened with jelly, pour the jelly to the top of the laid out mass. (We use about 3/4 of the liquid).
Cool the aspic in the refrigerator.
Pour the remaining jelly into the jellied meat and decorate the dish with slices of carrots. Set the carp jellied meat to harden.

A simple recipe for making pike perch jellied fish at home
Pike perch is a dietary fish, it has very little fat and very tender meat. In addition, it contains many amino acids that our body needs. In general, the dish will turn out not only tasty, but also very healthy. In the distant times of the USSR, pike perch aspic was the signature dish of every family on the New Year's table. I decided to prepare portioned aspic and now I’ll tell you how.
Ingredients:
- Pike perch – 1.5 kg
- Carrots - 1 pc.
- Onion - 1 pc.
- Lemon - 1 pc.
- Black pepper - 10 peas
- Black allspice - to taste
- Salt - to taste
- Gelatin - 3 tablespoons
Pike perch can be either seawater or freshwater, it is important to know this when purchasing. When cooking sea pike perch with the head on, there will be an unpleasant aftertaste, which will ruin the taste of the aspic as a whole. If you don’t know what kind of fish you have in your hands - sea pike perch or freshwater pike perch, then it’s better not to take risks and cook the fish without a head.
Remove the scales from the fish, cut off the fins, remove the entrails and wash the pike perch. Only after this cut off the head; my pike perch was already headless when purchased. Then cut the fish into pieces and remove them immediately from the bones. Place pike perch fillets in a pan. If the pike perch is freshwater, the head can also be boiled, but first remove the eyes and gills.
Fill with cold water, there should not be a lot of it, about 1.5 liters and place on the stove over medium heat. Immediately add the peeled onion and carrots to the fish.
Pike perch cooks very quickly, about 15 minutes. Therefore, do not go far; as the broth boils, skim off the foam. This is a prerequisite for a clear broth for aspic. Towards the end of cooking, add seasonings: black peppercorns and allspice, salt. Cook after boiling over very low heat.
The main thing is not to overcook the pike perch, so as not to lose the density and appearance of the pieces of fish. As soon as the fish begins to flake, remove it immediately.
Now you can start preparing gelatin. Pour it into a large plate and add 100 ml of hot water, leave to swell.
As soon as the pike perch is ready, place it on a separate dish.
Place the fins and tail (if you have a head, then that too) in a saucepan and cook for another 20 minutes.
When the broth is cooked, remove the onions and carrots. We throw out the onion, and the carrots will be useful for decorating the aspic. The broth must be strained through a sieve. Then pour in the gelatin and stir; if the gelatin is poorly dissolved, you can heat the broth in the microwave or on the stove and the gelatin will dissolve.
Finally, take a jellied pan, I have a muffin pan, put boiled carrots on the bottom and lay out the fish fillets. Pour broth with gelatin on top. Place in the refrigerator to harden for 4-5 hours.
Due to the ease of preparing pike perch aspic, you can also prepare it on a regular weekday. For a festive table, the aspic can be decorated with additional green peas, quail eggs, herbs and viburnum berries.
Very tasty and tender!

Fish aspic with gelatin - a simple and tasty recipe
The first recipe will be simple, but as you prepare the recipe we will tell you about the subtleties that are the same for all the others. So make yourself comfortable and let’s get started.
Ingredients:
- Fish – 1 pc.
- Onions – 1 pc.
- Carrots – 1 pc.
- Gelatin – 1 tbsp.
- Black peppercorns – 7-8 pcs.
- Bay leaf – 1 pc.
- Lemon – 0.5 pcs.
It so happened that the pike perch had already been sold, so I had to choose which fish to take for aspic. The choice settled on grass carp. A good, large fish of the carp family with quite tasty meat
But unlike carp, there are still fewer bones in it, and they are larger, which you will agree is important. Overall, this is such a beauty
The preparation began with cutting the fish. Washed and cleaned of scales. By the way, we’ve been using this device for a long time now; the scales are easy to clean, and most importantly, they don’t scatter all over the kitchen, but stay in the sink.
After this, the head was separated and gutted. This is all left behind the scenes; the sight is not very attractive. The gills were removed from the head, and the scales were carefully collected; we will cook the broth together. The fillet was cut.
Then the fillet was immediately cut into portioned pieces. We didn’t remove the small bones; we left this for later; it’s easier to do this with cooked meat.
The scales were placed in a gauze bag and, together with the head, ridge and fins, were placed in a saucepan. Added water and set to cook. After boiling, reduce the heat so that the boil is barely noticeable. After about 15-20 minutes, spices and onions were added to the broth.
While cooking the broth, pour gelatin into a bowl and pour in a glass of cold water. Stir and leave to swell.
After about 30-35 minutes of cooking the broth, we dipped the fish pieces into it.
Bring to a boil and cook for 7-8 minutes. During this time they managed to cook. Then carefully removed it onto a plate to cool. The bulb with a bag of scales was sent into a bucket. And they took out the head and other trimmings and put them aside separately, this won’t go for aspic, but it looks like the cat will have a holiday?
The broth was poured through a sieve into another pan. It seemed a bit cloudy to us and they decided to lighten it up.
The operation, of course, is completely optional, but I would like to show you how to do it and what it leads to. To do this, beat the whites of two chicken eggs in a separate bowl and pour into the cooled broth. Immediately upon boiling there was a lot of foam, and then it practically disappeared. Boil for a couple of minutes and turn off the heat. After some time, part of the protein settled to the bottom, while the other remained floating.
Then the broth was carefully poured through... a medical cap. I’m sharing a life hack. We have been using such caps for this purpose for a long time; they cost a penny, but they filter much better than several layers of gauze. And thanks to the elastic band, they are convenient to put on pans, they hold well, and this is important when you are doing something alone. The clarified broth looks like this.
The swollen gelatin was poured into the broth, while still hot, and stirred well. Then there was a not entirely interesting task - all the bones were removed from the pieces of boiled fillet. This took approximately 7 minutes. After this, the pieces were placed in dishes, garnished with carrots and lemon, and carefully poured over the broth. We left it on the counter to cool slightly and then put it in the refrigerator.
Everything took about 1.5 hours, which, you see, is not that much. Bon appetit!
