Lutefisk Med Smør

Ingredients

  • 4 pcs Potatoes
  • 150 g Bacon
  • 1 tbsp Whole Grain Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Parsley
  • 1.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 pcs Lemon
  • 500 g Lutefisk
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper

Method

  1. Finely chop {parsley} and keep it ready for the finish so it stays fresh and bright.
  2. Put {potatoes} in a saucepan, cover with cold water, add {salt}, and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Simmer until tender and a knife slides in easily.
  3. Lay {bacon} in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until the fat renders and the pieces are deep golden and crisp. Grind over {black_pepper} at the end.
  4. Set {lutefisk} in a buttered baking dish, season lightly with {salt} and {black_pepper}, and bake in the oven at medium heat until just opaque, softly set, and beginning to release juices. Gentle heat keeps it delicate.
  5. Melt {butter} in a small saucepan over medium heat until it smells nutty and turns hazelnut brown, then stir in {whole_grain_mustard}. Squeeze in {lemon} off the heat for a sharp finish.
  6. Drain {potatoes} and crush them lightly onto warm plates. Spoon over {lutefisk}, scatter with {bacon}, drizzle with the brown butter mustard sauce, and finish with {parsley}. Serve at once while the fish is hot and glossy.
