This is a Scandinavian dish. Lutefisk is cod that was was traditionally dried for storage through the winter. Then when it was time to use it, it was soaked in a mixture of lye and water which rehydrated and softened it. The texture is like Jell-O® and will fall apart easily so it needs to be handled carefully. It is an odd food for sure, fish-flavored Jell-O®, so don’t be too critical. Some people love it, others will hate it. This is just the best way I have found to prepare it.
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried lutefisk
- 1 quart water
- 1 ½ tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Bring water and salt to a rolling boil. Add lutefisk and return to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 8 minutes. Check with an instant-read thermometer to make sure the internal temperature has reached 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
Step 2
Carefully remove lutefisk from water using a scoop strainer or skimmer spoon. Cover with melted butter and serve immediately.
Cook’s Notes:
If you like a salty flavor you can use up to 3 tablespoons salt per quart of water, but I don't care for that much.
