Method

  • Set the oven to 200 °C.
  • Cut the stockfish into portions and sprinkle salt on the meat side.
  • Let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes, depending on how firm you prefer your stockfish. Water will be drawn out, so place the pieces in a baking dish with sides.
  • Pour off the water and rinse the stockfish in cold water to remove the salt.
  • Place the stockfish in a baking dish with the skin side down and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Put it in the oven and cook until done, approximately 30 minutes.

Lentils

  • Cook the lentils until tender with chopped shallots for about 20-25 minutes and drain excess water.
  • Cut the bacon into cubes and fry until crispy.
  • Mix the bacon cubes with lentils and onions.

Mustard Sauce

  • Warm up the cream and milk; do not let it boil.
  • Combine melted butter and flour with a pinch of salt to make a roux. Just before the cream boils, stir in the roux.
  • Let it simmer for a few minutes while vigorously stirring with a whisk.
  • Strain the sauce into another saucepan. Add mustard (hot and sweet and Dijon), Worcestershire sauce, and the juice of 1 lemon.
  • Stir in butter to make the sauce extra smooth and flavorful.
  • Season with salt and pepper. And serve.
  • Serve the stockfish with lentils, mustard sauce, and boiled new potatoes.

Tip:If you want a firmer lutefisk, sprinkle salt over it and let it rest in a cool place for a couple of hours. Drain the water that is released and then rinse the lutefisk in cold water.
