Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with the margarine.
Cut the fish into large chunks, and place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse about 20 times, do not puree, but grind fine.
Place in the bowl of an electric mixer.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and sauté the onions over medium-low heat until soft and transparent.
To the fish mixture, add the onions, eggs, 2 cups of cold water, matzoh meal, salt, white pepper, sugar and lemon juice. Beat in the electric mixer at medium speed, using a paddle attachment, for about 10 minutes.
Add the dill, and grate in the carrots; mix well.
Pour the mixture into the greased bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, and cover with foil.
Place a large pan filled with water which is almost boiling and comes at least halfway up the sides of the bundt pan.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour, or until the center is solid. Cool for 5 minutes, or until mold is cool to the touch. Run a knife around the edges.
Place a flat serving plate on top, and then flip over, inverting the mold onto the plate. If the mold does not come out easily, give the plate a shake. You should feel or hear it give.
Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Slice as you would a torte, and serve as an appetizer.
Garnish with the parsley and remaining dill, and serve with red horseradish.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Halibut works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. One wine you could try is Caposaldo Pinot Grigio. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 10 dollars.
Caposaldo Pinot Grigio
Caposaldo Pinot Grigio features a dry, crisp, vibrant texture and delicate aromas of white fruit, flowers and almonds.Pairs well with white meats, fish, seafood, pasta dishes and delicate cheeses.
