Ingredients
    12 ounces white fish fillets, skinned and cut into 1 inch cubes
    2 ounces white bread, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
    1 cup milk
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 small onion, finely chopped

Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
    Line bottom of a 6-cup loaf pan with parchment paper.
    Place the fish cubes in a bowl.
    Add the bread; sprinkle with the milk; leave to soak while you cook the chopped onion.
    Melt the butter in a small pan and fry onions for 10 minutes; add to the fish and bread with the egg yolks, nutmeg, dill, salt and pepper; mix well.
    Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff; gently fold into the fish mixture.
    Spoon the mixture into the baking dish.
    Cover with a butter foil and bake for 45 minutes or until set.
    Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then spoon out.
    Alternatively, loosen with a knife; turn out, remove the paper and cut into wedges.
    Garnish with dill and serve.
