Ingredients

Salt-boiled potatoes

Carrot mash

Method

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 3 tablespoons of salt per liter.
  • Set the pot aside and add the skrei slices.
  • Place the pot back on the stove and bring to a boil, then remove from heat, lower the temperature, and let the fish steep for 6-7 minutes.
  • Quickly sauté the spinach in a frying pan with crushed garlic and butter until wilted.
  • Bring enough water to cover the roe to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt per liter.
  • Rinse the roe and tightly wrap it in kitchen paper. You can secure the ends with a rubber band to prevent it from dissolving.
  • Place the wrapped roe into the boiling water and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  • Clean the liver from membranes and sinews, cut into pieces, and place in a small saucepan.
  • When the fish is cooked, ladle some of the cooking water over the liver.
  • Gently bring to a boil and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Salt-boiled potatoes

  • Bring saltwater to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes from the salty water and let them drain on paper towels.

Carrot mash

  • Peel the carrots, dice them, and cook until tender in plain water.
  • Drain the cooking water and mash the carrots together with butter and cooking cream.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  • Serve the skrei with spinach, roe, salted potatoes, carrot mash, and liver.
