Roll with Herbs and Red Fish

Ingredients

Butter 25g

Flour 25g

Milk 175ml

Egg Yolk 3

Parmesan Cheese 60g

Dill 60g

Parsley 30g

Egg White 3

Lightly Salted Trout 200g

Sour Cream 150g

Ground Black Pepper 1/3 tsp



Take a thick-walled saucepan or sauté pan. Turn the burner to medium heat and melt the butter in the pan. Then add the flour and quickly stir with a spoon or whisk until smooth. Pour in the milk in a thin stream, stirring constantly, until all the lumps of butter and flour dissolve (this will happen quickly and easily).

 

Then reduce the heat and stir until the mixture thickens to the consistency of sour cream. Remove the pan from the heat and add the yolks, grated cheese (note how finely it needs to be grated), finely chopped dill and parsley (2 tablespoons each), and mix thoroughly.



Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.



Carefully fold them into the cheese and egg mixture, stirring with a spoon from top to bottom.



Pour the batter onto the parchment paper and spread it over the entire baking sheet with a spoon. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes until lightly browned.

 While the crust is baking, cut the fish into small strips.

Then combine it with sour cream, finely chopped dill (about 2 tablespoons), and a little pepper. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, cover with another sheet of parchment paper, and let cool for 15 minutes.

Remove the parchment paper. Sprinkle the crust with grated cheese (reserve a little for serving) and let sit for another 5 minutes. Place the fish and sour cream on the crust and spread it evenly. If there are any empty spaces, don't worry; everything will spread out beautifully when you roll it up.

Using a sheet of parchment paper, carefully roll the crust into a tight roll. Afterward, let the roll sit for a while to firm up. It's best to serve the roll the same day.

 

To serve, slice the roll crosswise, arrange it attractively on a platter, and sprinkle with a pinch of Parmesan cheese. Garnish with lemon or herbs.

Enjoy!
