Norwegian Fish Casserole Recipes

FISKESUPPE (NORWEGIAN FISH CHOWDER)

Steps:

• Heat butter in a 6 qt saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic, celery, onions, peppers, and leeks, and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook, stirring, until soft, 8-10 minutes. Add carrots, parsnips, celeriac, potatoes, stock, milk, cream, and Worcestershire; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.
• Add fish, and continue to cook, stirring gently, until fish is cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Stir in dill, parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
• Serve with bread.

NORWEGIAN FISH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and then add the milk, stirring all the while. (If the milk is slightly heated it's easier to get this lump-free!) Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the spices. Then pull off of the heat and let the sauce/base cool for a bit.
• Stir in egg yolks, cooked fish, cooked macaroni, and any veggies that you want to add (chopped leeks, grated carrots, or peas would be good!)
• Beat the egg whites until they're stiff, then carefully fold this into the fish mixture. Put it in a well-greased casserole dish and sprinkle bread crumbs over the top.
• Bake at 375 F for 40-50 minutes. When done, the casserole should be firm all the way through.
• Enjoy!

NORWEGIAN FISKEGRATENG; FISH 'N MACARONI AU GRATIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a large pot, cook macaroni according to the package, or slightly less to keep the pasta a little bit on the firm side. Drain, pour into a bowl and set aside.
• Rinse fish. In the same pot, gently simmer fish in lightly salted water for 5-10 min. until flaky. Drain, keep the fish in the pot and break into bite sized pieces with a fork. Set aside.
• Separate the eggs, set aside and allow to come to room temperature.
• Melt butter in a medium sized heavy sauce pan. Add flour, whisk until smooth, and cook for a couple of minutes.
• Pull away from heat, add milk, egg yolks, and spices, and whisk well until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat until thickened, stirring often with a whisk to keep lumps from forming. Set aside.
• Whip egg whites with an electric mixer until very stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• To assemble the casserole, combine macaroni and 3 cups of the sauce together with the fish in the large pot. Save the rest of the sauce for serving with the casserole later.
• Very gently fold the egg whites into the fish mixture with a rubber spatula until mostly mixed but not entirely. Some little bits of egg white should still be seen.
• Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, and top with the crumbs or crushed crackers.
• Bake at 400° F for 40 min. until golden brown and set.
