About

The Scandinavians developed a way of preparing salt fish with sour cream, and several other peoples, especially in the Middle East, cooked salt fish in cream or milk. Here’s my version:

Method

Soak the salt fish in fresh water overnight or longer, changing the water several times. Flake or chop the fish and drain it well. Melt the butter in a frying pan and sauté the fish flakes for 6 or 7 minutes on high heat. Drain on brown paper. In a serving bowl, mix fish, sour cream, onion, parsley, lemon juice, and pepper. Serve cold on crackers.
