Ingredients
Fiskefrikadeller:
- 1 pound cod fillet
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp. potato flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- butter neutral oil for frying
Dill Sauce:
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons dill pickle relish or chopped pickles
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Prepare dill sauce by mixing all the dill sauce ingredients. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
- Double check that your fish is free of bones and skins. Put the fish in a food processor and chop it roughly (it will be chopped more later), 1-2 minutesTransfer the chopped fish to a bowl. Add salt and stir the fish meat gently 1-2 minutes. The salt helps bind the liquid to create a juicier fish cake.
- Peel and grate the onion, then add to the fish. It is important to grate, not chop so it is thoroughly incorporated into the patty.
- Stir in ground pepper, then the eggs, one at a time. Stir the potato flour into the fish mixture
- Place the mixture back in the food processor and pulse for a minute.
- Add the milk a little at a time and pulse briefly each time. Process until the mixture is firm but smooth. You may not need all the milk (I didn’t) or you may need slightly more.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Using half butter and half mild oil (I used mild olive oil), fill a frying pan with ¼ - ½ inch of oil. Heat on medium heat. Using a large tablespoon, scoop out some fish mixture and form into a flattened circle or oval in your palm. (Tip: dip the spoon into a large glass of cold water between each scoop)
- Fry the fiskefrikadeller and flip when the bottom is golden and crusty, about 4-5 minutes. Continue frying until the second side is also golden and crusty and the center is done (you can use an instant read thermometer if you wish)
- Serve warm with dill sauce.
