Fiskgratäng


Fiskgratäng is a very simple delicious way to enjoy seafood, we commonly use frozen filets of Pangasius or Cod. I think whiting or pollok would do fine, and try this recipe with any other seafood as shrimp, scallops. I am not sure about mussels, squid, or fish steaks, but why not?
Half Kilo or about a pound of fish filets, or other seafood
Mashed potato, enough to serve approx 6
2 egg yokes
1.25 cups, or 2.5 dl of cream
1 tsp of crushed rose peppercorns
Dill, fresh chopped or dried
Make up mashed potatoes for 6 people, instant works fine. You then add a couple egg yokes and to the potatoes to give it a richer color. Arrange the potatoes around the dish with the seafood in the middle. The frozen fiskgratäng here in Sweden often has a decorative texture on the potatoes, I am still playing with that idea, as you can see in the picture. It tastes the same whether you dress it up or not! Pour cream over the seafood and sprinkle with a teaspoon of crushed rose peppercorns. We then top it off with dill and bake it until it is bubbley all through and the potatoes brown on the edges. Enjoy!
