Lutefisk Med Smør
Silky lutefisk with buttery potatoes, crisp bacon and a sharp mustard finish.
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
- Finely chop {parsley} and keep it ready for the finish so it stays fresh and bright.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
