Why not just serve it?
I really like leftover gefilte fish hot during the week. Microwave (if your micro is milchig and your fish fleishig-potted then double wrap or whatever your rav says to do) and serve to whoever wants, with mayo.

It freezes very well. Wrap in paper towel, then silver foil and plastic bag. Thaw overnight in fridge next shabbos. Don't tell anybody, and your family will not know the difference.

I want to use it for shabbos, just want to give it a little change of taste. I would fry it with egg and bread crumbs, its delicious, but I want to bake it, not fry.

There is a tomato and veggie recipe that you could
probably bake. I don't know the recipe though.
Good luck!

Leftover gefilte fish? Isn't that an oxymoron? How could one possibly have leftover gefilte fish? Scratching Head

You can give it a delicious mid-eastern twist:
slice and bake with tomato sauce, a little salt and sugar and spice with cumin. Then put in a frozen peas and carrots. Bake on 350 for about 1 hour and serve warm. simply delicious

In my house it usually goes into a container and then sits until I throw it out next erev Shabbos. Wink not that I'm recommending that.

Slice the gefilte fish. Dip into 1 egg + 1 Tbsp water mixture.
Dip into seasoned breadcrumb and ground walnut mixture.
Bake at 400 for 10 minutes on each side. (You can spray the tops of the slices when you flip them halfway through.)

I actually revamped my gefilte fish from shavuos for shabbos. Right now it's sitting in tomato sauce with spices.

We;ve discussed this before - you can sauce it with salsa, salsa and pineapple, pesto, duck sacue, etc.

Oy vay. I thought it would come out the way it does when using a raw, partially defrosted gefilte loaf.

This is always a hit at my house and with guests. (Well, OK: it's not quite as popular as fresh baked salmon, or lox! Very Happy ) It can even be made on Pesach as well, which is when I invented this a few years ago:

Take boiled or baked g-fish and mash it up in a bowl (or lightly grind, using a food processor). Add a chopped or grated onion; one or two raw eggs; and one or two (or more if you like) raw potatoes, shredded as you would for kugel or latkes. The amount of potato, onion, and egg depends on how much leftover g-fish you have. The batter should be like potato latke batter. Be generous with the onion; it adds a lot of flavor. You can also add some finely shredded carrot, if you like.

Then fry as patties on both sides, just like latkes that are all potato. (I once baked this latke batter at about 400 degrees, in heaping tablespoons dropped on parchment paper, flipping them over a few times. This will take longer than baking and it works best if you lightly spray the tops of the raw batter with oil: I love my refillable oil sprayer. Or use Pam.)

Even people who are not so fond of gefilte fish seem to like these fish latkes. Many are surprised that they even contain fish, because they just really taste like potato latkes. I still serve them with chrain.

You can even freeze them. Like all potato recipes that I freeze, however, I like to wrap them in foil and heat the thawed latkes thoroughly in the oven before serving, even if you want to then cool them after that before serving. They taste fresher that way (same for potato kugels that I freeze sometimes). They are fine hot, too.

An added advantage is that this is a fine way to stretch a roll of gefilte fish to feed many more than it would have fed if served alone.

We bake it after freezing it. That way it’s not soggy.

This thread is almost 10 years old. I really hope she's not still trying to figure out what to do with it.
