Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    THE BASE: For the base you'll need two sheets of frozen puff pastry.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Place the pastry, still frozen, on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Put the sheet into a cold oven, then bake the puff pastry at 350°F (180°C) until golden.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Once cooled, carefully split each pastry sheet horizontally into three thin layers: the middle layer goes on the bottom of the cake, the top layer in the center, and the bottom layer on top.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    FILLING #1: Red fish.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Cut the fish off the skin and dice it medium. Reserve a few thin slices for garnish.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Finely dice the gherkins and chop the dill.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Peel the cooled hard-boiled eggs and dice them.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Combine the fish, cheese, gherkins, dill, and eggs with the mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Set the bottom pastry layers together and spread the red-fish filling evenly over them.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Lay the uneven pastry layers on top, pressing gently with your hands — if they crack a little, that's fine.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    FILLING #2: Smoked fish.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13

    Mix the curd-style cream cheese with the processed cream cheese and horseradish.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14

    Flake the mackerel into pieces, removing the bones.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15

    Spread the cheese mixture over the pastry, then arrange the mackerel on top.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16

    Press down gently with the last puff-pastry layers. Cover with plastic wrap and set a light weight on top, such as a small cutting board. Refrigerate the fish cake for a couple of hours — or overnight, so the layers soak through well.

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17

    DECORATION: Decorate just before serving.

  18. Step 18:

    Step 18

    For the coating, mix the two cheeses: processed cream cheese and curd-style cream cheese.

  19. Step 19:

    Step 19

    Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top and sides of the cake.

  20. Step 20:

    Step 20

    Slice the fresh cucumber into thin lengthwise strips as tall as the cake.

  21. Step 21:

    Step 21

    Press the cucumber strips onto the sides of the cake.

  22. Step 22:

    Step 22

    Green peas, green onion, and roses shaped from the red fish round out the festive look.

  23. Step 23:

    Step 23

    Here's the cake in cross-section.

  24. Step 24:
