Saltfiskur

Saltfiskur is a traditional Icelandic dish made with dried and salted fish.

Ingredients

  • Parsley (2 tablespoons, chopped)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Milk (1 cup)
  • Butter (2 tablespoons)
  • Onion (1 large, finely chopped)
  • Potatoes (4 medium, peeled and diced)
  • Salted cod (1 pound)

Instructions

  1. Soak the salted cod in cold water overnight to remove excess salt. Change the water a few times.
  2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the soaked cod and cook for 20 minutes, or until the fish is tender.
  3. Remove the fish from the pot and let it cool slightly. Flake the fish into small pieces, removing any bones or skin.
  4. In a separate pot, boil the diced potatoes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  5. In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.
  6. Add the flaked fish and cooked potatoes to the frying pan. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Pour in the milk and cook for a few minutes, until heated through.
  8. Season with black pepper and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!
