Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Prepare the fish by gutting it and cutting it into medium-sized pieces (approximately 50 grams), then salt them.
Step 2
Place the heads and fins in a pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, skim off the foam, add salt, roots, and spices.
Step 3
Cook for at least 1–1.5 hours to reduce the liquid by half.
Step 4
Place the prepared fish pieces in a saucepan, pour in the strained broth (up to half the volume of the fish), and cook covered.
Step 5
After about 15 minutes, carefully transfer the cooked fish to a serving dish.
Step 6
In the broth, add the previously soaked gelatin and bring to a boil.
Step 7
Cool to room temperature, add mayonnaise, whip until foam appears on the surface, then pour this sauce over the fish and refrigerate.
Step 8
Garnish with lemon slices and herbs.
