Fiskekaker
Tender fish cakes with gentle nutmeg, golden butter crust, and bright parsley at the finish.
Ingredients
- 350 g Cod Fillet
- 75 ml Milk
- 2 tbsp Potato Flour
- 1 pcs Egg
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg
- 1.75 tsp Kosher Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 tbsp Parsley
- 1 pcs Lemon
- 2 pcs Potato
Method
- Place {potato} in a saucepan of cold salted water over high heat, bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and cook until tender and easily pierced with a knife. Drain well and keep warm.
- Cut {cod_fillet} into chunks, then pulse in a food processor with {egg}, {milk}, {potato_flour}, {nutmeg}, {kosher_salt}, and {black_pepper} until smooth, thick, and sticky. Chill briefly so the mixture firms and shapes cleanly.
- With wet hands, shape the chilled fish mixture into even patties so they cook at the same rate and hold a tender interior.
- Heat {unsalted_butter} in a large skillet over medium heat until foaming. Add the fish cakes without crowding and fry until deeply golden on each side and just cooked through to a moist, springy center. Let them rest briefly so the juices settle.
- Plate the warm {potato} with the fish cakes, scatter over {parsley}, and squeeze {lemon} over the top for a fresh finish that lifts the butter and fish.
