Classic lute fish and luxurious lamb meatballs

 

Lutefish and Christmas meatballs

In this week's episode, I offer some of the cornerstones of the Christmas table. Or how about herring, lutefish and meatballs. In addition, I manage to get Edward Blom to try to distinguish eight of our most classic schnapps. If he succeeded and what did Edward really think of the captain's meatballs...

Fried mackerel with spinach sauce and boiled potatoes

 

Fried mackerel with spinach sauce and boiled potatoes

Up in a skylift at a height of 56 meters at the Masthugg Church in Gothenburg, I offer freshly caught fried mackerel served with spinach sauce and boiled potatoes. This particular dish I have saved as an ace up my sleeve to be able to bring out at the right time and what could not be better than right now when I get a special visit to the channel. By my side in the minimal lift basket, I have one of the country's best Gothenburgers - Glenn Hysén. There will be a lot of talk about football and Gothenburg, but also a clip from the auction in Fiskehamnen.

Easter food with Edward Blom

Old man's stir-fry and butter-baked salmon side with Edward Blom

Finally Easter and perhaps the holiday that I appreciate the most of all. Spring and summer are ahead of us with sun, warmth, food and drink. It is also the weekend that symbolizes the starting point for many stovetop lovers when the stoves must be dusted off and taken out of winter storage.
For this week's well-fed Easter episode on Skeppsholmen, I have once again invited the gastronomist Edward Blom, who very generously shares his never-ending knowledge of food history and old traditions.
So what do you serve when big relatives come to visit during the Easter weekend?
I would highly recommend baking a whole side of salmon in butter. Now don't fuss with grating on a few small slices of butter, but boil up half a kilo, which you then pour over the salmon. Then toss the butter around the fish with your long frying spatulas to the desired internal temperature of around 50 degrees. A neat cooking method that brings out every little salmon molecule to perfection for all the senses.
Serve with pickled fennel salad, cold salmon-flax sauce with squeezed fried lemon and the first new potatoes tossed in butter of the year.

Fish sticks with spinach and new potatoes

 

Fish sticks with spinach and new potatoes

Shout out to all frying pan lovers
If fish sticks were not a washable semi-finished product, it would have qualified for the top 10 list of Swedish household classics a long time ago. I wanted to change that by cooking them from scratch instead. I therefore went to my local fishmonger who knows everything about fish. They recommended me fresh cod loin and also cut out fine pieces for my future sticks.
Back at home at the stove, I made a washable and foolproof double breading. A breading without a lot of fuss and strange additives. Fried in a lot of oil and butter until they became completely golden brown and crispy. Served with spinach, new potatoes, lemon slice and a cold beer. Could summer start any better than this? Doubtful! Enjoy the weekend dear frying pan warriors out there because now the season starts in earnest ❤️ ⚓️?‍✈️

Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 600 gram salmon
  • salt & white pepper
  • rapeseed oil
  • butter
  • potato

Taped up

  • 300 gram olives
  • 2 tbsp caper
  • 2 gaps garlic
  • 4 anchovies
  • 3 tbsp pine nuts
  • ½ dl olive oil
  • ½ dl rapeseed oil

Hollandaise sauce

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 200 gram butter
  • 3 tbsp squeezed lemon
  • 1 krm salt

Garnish

  • fried lemon
  • White asparagus
  • chopped parsley
  • grated Västerbotten cheese

Instructions
 

Taped up

  • Fill a tall bowl with olives, capers, garlic, anchovies, pine nuts, olive oil and canola oil. Mix with an immersion blender to the desired consistency.

Hollandaise sauce in a pan directly on the grill

  • Melt the butter in a pot.
  • Whisk the egg yolks together with water to a creamy foam in a saucepan.
  • Remove the pan with the egg foam and whisk in the butter. First drop by drop and then with a sharper beam. Avoid whisking in the white sediment from the butter.
  • Whisk in salt and the squeezed lemon juice.
  • If the sauce has not thickened enough, you simply move the saucepan back onto the hob and whisk it up to the desired consistency. Here it is important to be vigilant so that it does not cut itself. Normally, you cook butter sauces in a water bath, but it works great to cook them in a pan directly on the stovetop.

The salmon

  • Cut the salmon fillet into portions. Salt and pepper.
  • Fry in plenty of rapeseed oil and butter, skin side down.
  • Slice a couple of lemons and fry together with the salmon.
  • Scoop the fish with oil and butter so you don't have to turn the fish. In this way, it keeps its nice shape.
  • When the salmon is almost ready, pull it up on the side where it is a little cooler. Add boiled, cooled new potatoes to the butter mixture and fry for a couple of minutes.

Serving

  • Top the fried salmon with a couple of tablespoons of tapenade and Västerbotten cheese. Quickly gratinate with a gas burner until the cheese melts. Sprinkle over finely chopped parsley. Serve with fried lemon, butter-fried potatoes, white asparagus and hollandaise sauce. Enjoy a glass of dry rosé wine from Italian Tommasi.

Captain's Fish Stew

Captain's Fish Stew

Can you cook fish stew on a griddle? Admittedly, there are a plethora of different models on the market, but in general it works very well and if you take the "trouble" you will be richly rewarded with an out-of-the-ordinary pot that your guests will love.
Fish stew can be prepared in any number of ways, but I like to choose the classic Mediterranean elements such as fennel, saffron and white wine in the flavor palette. Of course, there are a lot of ingredients to be sliced and chopped, but what does it matter when the spring sun is shining and there is white wine in the glass. Cheers friends ⚓️

As the first guest at home at the grill, I welcome the incredibly talented fish chef and fishmonger Charlotta Sturgnekt, who is also known for her excellent performance in "Sweden's Master Chef" where she won third place a few years ago. I gave Lotta complete freedom to prepare a fish dish that should be suitable for cooking outdoors on a grill. With these conditions, she offers a completely unexpected dish that really makes the taste buds dance and that is very easy to prepare and also filling.
