I bake it in a pan, covered in tomato sauce and topped with whatever diced vegetables, usually peppers, sometimes onions. Bake on 350 for 1 hour covered and then 1 hour uncovered.

I pour on salsa or marinara sauce (can add veggies too) and bake covered in oven.

I put in a loaf pan still wrapped in paper. Add 1onion, carrot, salt pepper ands sugar. Bake for 1 1/4 hour at 350. Pour off some water when cool to prevent it from getting soggy!

I don’t know why yours is coming out mushy. I unwrap the paper, pour salsa over top, cover and bake 1 1/2 hours. Or smear mayo, lots of spices and then corn flake crumbs on top, cover and bake. Never soggy.

Any tips for unwrapping the paper without freezing your hands?

Under warm running water. That's the only way I do it!
(ETA I run warm water over the WRAPPED fish, then I can unwrap it easily without freezing my hands. I don't actually run the water over the raw fish.)

Re your mayo method, which spices? Do you add any water?

Unwrap, drizzle honey over it and sprinkle garlic, pepper, paprika over it.
Bake at 350, first covered for 1 hour, then uncovered for 30 min.

If you mean plain gefilte fish with no sauce - I found that certain brands are mushier than others. Which brands have you tried?

This is one of our favorite recipes, and have been making many years...
BAKED HERBED GEFILTE FISH
1 Frozen Gefilte Fish Loaf, thawed for 10 minutes to remove parchment wrapper
1 small can tomato sauce
1/3 cup hot water
1 T. tomato paste
1 T. brown sugar
1 T. olive oil
1 tsp. Herbs D'Provence
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
Thinly Sliced Red Bell Pepper
Thinly Sliced Onion
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Put Gefilte fish whole, in a parchment lined deep aluminum tin/pan (tin should be higher than the fish)
2) Mix all ingredients except bell pepper and onion
3) Pour mixture over the top of the Gefilte Fish
4) Place sliced bell pepper and onion over the Gefilte Fish
5) Cover completely with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for one hour
6) Remove aluminum foil and bake an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until pepper and onion have browned.

I can't find the recipe, I thought it was from here, maybe no.
Caramelize onions.
Smear dijon mustard over gefilte loaf. Cover with the onions. Bake. Sorry I don't have more specifics. I made it years ago and I really liked it (but others prefer basic boiled).

No water at all when I bake the fish. You can put on whatever you like, but I generally use a lot of black,pepper, garlic, onion, smoked paprika and sometimes make it a bit spicy with hot pepper flakes.

I put it in a loaf pan still in the paper and cover with foil. Bake at 350 for a hour and 15 min then uncover and cook another 10-15 min or until brown to my liking. I HATE wet mushy Gefilte fish!

The answer to your question about mushy fish is: bake it longer.
Put just a bit of water in the pan, maybe 1/4 of the way up the pan.
Put in a carrot. Onion, optional.
Spices as desired: I use about 1/4 vup of sugar, 1 top salt and a shake of pepper. Carlic if you like.
Bake covered on 350 for at least 1.5 hours. I usually bake mine longer.
A trick I use to determine doneness is to cut into the carrots. If it's cuts smoothly the fish is ready. If it's still a bit hard , Put the pan in again.

I realized some brands are mushier. For regular shabbos gefilte fish I use “Zevi’s gefilte fish”, I put the frozen loaf in a pan, fill a third with water, add sugar salt and white pepper, bake tightly covered for two hours on 450 (preheated) and then drain the water immediately and let it cool.

I use a&b gefilte fish and leave it on the stove top WITH THE WRAPPER for about 2 hours
Comes out nice and firm
Also use honey instead of sugar takes it to the next level in taste

I just put it into a small foil pan with the paper still on (actually I usually just wrap it tightly in some heavy duty foil and don't even bother with the pan). Bake at 350 for around 3 hours and done.
