Categories: Scandinavia, Fish
Yield: 4 Servings
400 g Fillets of cod or haddock
1 dl Wheat flour
5 1/2 dl Milk
1 lg Egg
1 Red onion, finely chopped
2 ts Green chili, finely chopped
1 ts Salt
3/16 ts Black pepper
Butter for frying
Honey onion:
2 Middle-sized onions. sliced
2 Middle-sized leeks, sliced
Some butter for frying
1 ts Honey
To serve:
Mashed potatoes flavored
With
Chopped parsley
Lemon carrots
Finely chop the fish in a food processor or mixer or by hand. Add
the flour alternating with milk. Stir down eggs, red onion, green
chili, and spices in the ground fish and leave in a cold place for
a while.
Slowly fry the onions soft in some butter. Add honey towards the
end and increase the heat so that it takes a nice color. Dilute
with some water and set aside.
Lightly brown some butter and drop the fish straight into the
frying pan, using a tablespoon. Flatten and brown them slowly in
the pan, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve with the fried onion,
lemon carrots, and mashed potatoes.
Lemon carrots: Peel carrots and continue "cutting" them with the
potato peeler, so you get long carrot bands. Melt some butter, add
a few tablespoons lemon juice and a pinch of sugar. Saute the
carrot bands in the butter until they're soft and sprinkle with
some salt.
