Torsk is a Scandinavian dish of poached and broiled cod with butter. This recipe uses frozen fish; defrosting is not necessary. Be sure to use butter, as there is too much water in margarine.
Ingredients
- 6 cups water, or more as needed
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 6 (6 ounce) fillets cod
- 1 ½ cups butter, melted
- 1 dash paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the broiler. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Step 2
Mix together water, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan. Add fillets to water mixture; add more water to fully submerge fillets if needed. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove fillets from water and blot dry on paper towels. Brush with 6 tablespoons melted butter; sprinkle with paprika.
Step 4
Broil in the preheated broiler until fillets are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Serve with remaining melted butter.
