About

Subtly flavoured with dill and onion, this warming bake combines two of the most common ingredients in Finland: salmon and potatoes. The recipe calls for graavilohi – salmon that has been pressed with salt, dill and brandy for 24 hours – which can be used in a number of recipes, or thinly sliced and simply served with a dill and crème fraîche sauce.
